5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, authoritative account of early Oregon history, July 9, 1999

russ@agapas.com (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terrible Trail: The Meek Cutoff, 1845 (Paperback)

This project is by far the best accounting of the ill-fated 1845 Stephen Meek led wagon train I have ever read. The authors have done an exceptional job in piecing together the tragic events and human errors that contibuted to making this one of the most moving stories from the Manifest Destiny era. The genealogical references alone make this document a must for every family researcher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work, March 30, 2005

Oregon Pioneer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terrible Trail: The Meek Cutoff, 1845 (Paperback)

A relative of mine made the trip to Oregon in 1845 and took the Meek Cutoff. Stories of it abound in the family lore. I was trying to reconstruct some family history and found this book to be valuable - it clarified a great deal about the adventures of those who took that path. It is well written and entertaining as well as full of facts. There must have been an enormous amount of work and research done to complete the book. Highly recommended, especially if you have relatives who made that trip.
