4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting variation on the westward expansion,
By ldawson@tampabay.rr.com (an American male) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oregon Trail (Trail Drive) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Oregon Trail is well known in legend and history for the many brave Americans who emigrated to Oregon in covered wagons. Here, Ralph Compton continues his "trail" series. Although I knew that livestock was common on the trail, I didn't realize that Oregon became cattle country for some. In this book, the trials of herding cattle across a hostile land is combined with the trials of ordinary families seeking a new life in the "promised land".

Again Ralph Compton has ranked to the level of Louis L'Amour,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oregon Trail (Trail Drive) (Mass Market Paperback)
Again Compton describes the struggles, hardships, and decisons that were faced during the early and late1800's, of the many people who were traveling westward. Many were good folks, but there were some who would who would rob or kill for for the least thing. The seasoned Texas cowboys who were good to their word and not afraid to to defend what was right with out thinking twice. The Texas long horn cattle--stubborn and mean, but also would stampede at the slightest action. The immigrants who were green and unaware of the dangers of a new land. All this, Compton has written in an action packed series book describing a trail drive of the old west.

A Great Addition to My Western Fiction Library,
By
This review is from: The Oregon Trail (Trail Drive) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a good way to continue reading Western fiction, after having read all of Louis L'Amour's books. Compton's stories are interesting and thoroughly developed, perhaps even more so than L'Amour's are.
