The Wabash River series consists of four novels by Dorothy Garlock set along the Wabash River in the frontier and settlement-era Midwest. Lonesome River (1987), Dream River (1988), River of Tomorrow (1988), and Yesteryear (1995) follow characters navigating the dangers and possibilities of life along the river.
The series reflects Garlock’s interest in the Midwest as a setting for romance. The Wabash River provides both a geographic anchor and a source of livelihood and danger for the characters, and the books trace the transformation of the region from wilderness to settled communities.
