Finally, in the last diary of Joshua's story the suffering and hardships have seemed to come to an end. This diary focuses on Joshua and his family starting their life in Oregon. His father takes an interest in government and gets together with some important men from Oregon City to discuss new laws for the territory. Joshua still continues to grow up fast and has now taken to sleeping outside in the makeshift lean to so that he can have some privacy and also so he can be outside which he loves. He has desperately missed school and has taken to reading his grandfather's old anthology of poetry and writing copious amounts in his diary. Finally by the time Joshua turns ten at the end of the book, he has been granted the opportunity and finally got the gun he has been begging for, for the past two books. Guess his mother is convinced he won't shoot his arm off anymore lol!
