Many of the events along the Oregon Trail are well known--the
perils of the Applegate family as they rafted down the raging
Columbia River, the plight of the Donner Party as they found
themselves snowbound and starving at Truckee Lake. But do you know
the whole story?
It Happened on the Oregon Trail includes these events as well as
many lesser-known happenings, providing insight about the
adventurous emigrants who, beginning in the 1840s, headed west in
covered wagons in search of a better life. These stories reveal the
hardships and the joys of the 2,000-mile journey as the travelers
left from the "jumping-off" cities along the Missouri River to
cross the plains, mountains, deserts, and rivers to reach their
final destinations in Oregon and California.
You'll read about Lafayette Tate, who experienced "trail justice"
for committing murder; about Catherine Hickman and David Parks, who
met on the Trail and were married in a trailside wedding; and about
Solomon Butcher, a frontier photographer, who captured life on the
Great Plains.
In an easy-to-read style that's entertaining as well as
informative, Tricia Martineau Wagner recounts some of the most
captivating moments from our nation's great westward
migration.
