Book excerpt: The Oregon Trail, 1850... grueling, unforgiving, dangerous. And it's their road to a new life! Clyde Henderson, a disgruntled carpenter from Philadelphia, desperately wants to start over. After reading an advertisement promising heaven on earth in Oregon Territory, he and his wife Anna, pack up their belongings and head west. They're fortunate to join up with a wagon train in Missouri. Troubles begin when their self-appointed leader absconds at the first faint sign of trouble. Thankfully a formidable rancher, Landon Morland, takes charge and becomes the train's new leader. He asks Clyde to be his right-hand man and, who despite his doubts, agrees. As the wagon train plods across the hostile plains, Clyde's former life fades into obscurity. His eldest son, Matt, becomes a man in a matter of days; fatigue is a constant companion; constant threats of Indian attacks, cattle go missing, disease ravages half the group, and a trio of 49ers take advantage of the emigrants' kindness. Through these trials and more, Anna remains faithful to the God she serves and Clyde learns that in the wild country, there is little else to lean on. But will he and his city-bred family rise above all that comes against them? Will they hold out and survive this unforgiving frontier fraught with unknown dangers? Will they endure the rigorous demands on their road to independence? They have no other choice - their very lives depend on it!
Download or read book The California Trail written by George R. Stewart and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1841 and 1842 small groups of emigrants tried to discover a route to California passable by wagons. Without reliable maps or guides, they pushed ahead, retreated, detoured, split up, and regrouped, reaching their destination only at great cost of property and life. But they had found a trail, or cleared one, and by their mistakes had shown others how to take wagon trains across half a continent. By 1844 a great migration was in progress. Each successive party learned from those who went before where to cross rivers and mountains, when to rest, when to forge ahead, and how to find food and water. Increased experience was translated into better wagon designs, improved understanding of climate and terrain, and better-supplied and -organized caravans. George R. Stewart's California Trail describes the trail's year-by-year changes as weather conditions, new exploration, and the changing character of emigrants affected it. Successes and disasters (like the Donner party's fate) are presented in nearly personal detail. More than a history of the trail, this book tells how to travel it, what it felt like, what was feared and hoped for.
