Description
The Oregon Trail is a gripping account of Francis Parkman's journey west across North America in 1846. He set out with three companions on a horseback journey that would ultimately take him over two thousand miles, crossing the Allegheny Mountains by coach and continuing by boat and wagon to Westport, Missouri.
Along the way, Parkman encountered numerous Indians, including a time spent living among a Sioux tribe. He also met traders, trappers, and emigrants searching for a new life in the American Wilderness. His detailed description of the journey has emerged as a significant narrative of one man's exploration of North America during the mid-19th century.
This edition is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years. With expert introductions and helpful notes, this volume provides an accurate text and valuable features to enhance your understanding of Parkman's journey.
