Follow the pioneers to Oregon! Between 1840 and 1860 three hundred
thousand Americans packed their belongings in farm wagons, hitched
up their livestock, said goodbye to their families and friends, and
set out for the West on the Oregon Trail. William Porter traveled
with them in 1848, headed for Oregon in a large family group,
including his in-laws and 16 kids, many of them younger than 6. 151
years later, with William's trail diary in hand, John Porter
follows their tracks from Pike County, Illinois to the Willamette
Valley of Oregon. He brings to life the story of these early
emigrants and their times as he drives the route and walks in the
ruts of the old trail. Along the way he solves a mystery about the
location of the burial place of his great-great-grandfather who
died on the trail in 1849. Join him as he tells their story and his
of the journey across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains to
Oregon!
