SOLVED. Fantasy - Oregon trail, alternate dimensions, talisman? [s]

[Suzanne]

I read this book almost 20 years ago so my details are fuzzy but this is what I remember: a girl was traveling with her family out west during pioneer times. The caravan stops (I think people were really sick/dying) and this girl wanders off and finds some sort of battle or fight between creatures from another dimension. She befriends one of these creatures and at one point there is a talisman she buried at the crossroads of the settlement where they ended up. Any help would be amazing!
