The Oregon Trail: a new American journey
(Large Print)
Description
Spanning two thousand miles through six states from Missouri to the Pacific, the Oregon Trail is the route that made America. In the fifteen years before the Civil War, 400,000 pioneers used it to emigrate west. Uniting the coasts, it doubled the size of the country and laid the groundwork for the railroads. Today, the Oregon Trail is all but forgotten. No stranger to grand adventures, Rinker Buck travels its length the old-fashioned way in a wildly ambitious work of participatory history with a heart as big as the country it crosses.
