The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey

This is the epic account of traveling the 2,000-mile length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way--in a covered wagon with a team of mules. Simultaneously a majestic journey across the West, a significant work of history, and a moving personal saga. Rinker Buck weaves a tale somewhere between a travelogue and a history lesson, he traces the iconic path literally and figuratively as he re-creates the great migration with his brother and a Jack Russell terrier.
