One man’s quest for the Pacific Ocean begins with a humble childhood in Illinois. His determination and resilience lead him across the American frontier.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, August 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Seasoned author, Judith A. Perkins, offers an interesting story that narrates the life of George Seevers, a man whose dreams were born from the confines of an orphanage in Illinois and stretched all the way to the Pacific Ocean. This meticulously researched historical novel captures the essence of the American spirit, creating a story of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of a long-cherished dream.

George Seevers' story begins before the civil war, when at just two years old, he was placed in an orphanage. With little hope for a formal education, his future seemed bleak until a compassionate matron taught him to read. From then on, books became his sanctuary, with stories of far-off places fueling his imagination. Among the many tales he devoured, one captivated him the most—the Pacific Ocean, a place he vowed to see with his own eyes.

At the age of 15, driven by his determination, George ran away from the orphanage. His journey westward was fraught with challenges, but his resolve never wavered. He took on various jobs in Rapid City, South Dakota, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, each step bringing him closer to his dream. In Cheyenne, he married and started a family, but the call of the Pacific still echoed in his heart.

Eventually, George and his family moved to Portland, Oregon, but fate would take them further, to the small town of Rawlings in Eastern Washington. There, George owned a hotel and worked as a chef, raising his family and becoming a respected member of the community. But his dream of seeing the Pacific remained unfulfilled—until he was called upon to rescue his oldest daughter in Portland. It was during this trip that George finally stood at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, his long-cherished dream realized. He returned to Rawlings with his family, content to live out his days in the town he had come to love.
