The first wagon train to Oregon,
By
This review is from: Blazing a Wagon Trail to Oregon: A Weekly Chronicle of the Great Migration of 1843 (Paperback)
The author teaches Oregon Trail history at Eastern Oregon State College and has liberally used excerpts from diaries and letters to give a first-person feel for his narrative. The accounts of fording the rivers make you realize that none of them were routine, but an accident could happen at any moment. You feel the heat and dust of the plains and the cold of the mountains as these pioneers did. This was the first emigrant wagon train to Oregon; their experiences aided the passage of the thousands who followed. I had difficulty laying the book aside to eat or sleep.
