From the Parting of the Ways , where the Oregon and California Trails separated, this book follows the California-bound wagon trains. It describes sites such as the City of Rocks, Record Bluff, Goose Creek, Thousand Springs Valley, Humboldt Wells, and the Humboldt River. Historian Charles Greenhaw conveys the history of the trail, describes the landscape seen by early travelers, and depicts their travails as they began their trek across the Great Basin. Diary excerpts use the original travelers voices to describe the scenery and the trail through Northeastern Nevada. Maps and route descriptions help historical time travelers to visit historic sites along the California Trail.
