Download or read book Wagons West written by Frank McLynn and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed historian’s “compellingly told” year-by-year account of the pioneering efforts to conquer the American West in the mid-nineteenth century (The Guardian). In all the sagas of human migration, few can top the drama of the journey by Midwestern farmers to Oregon and California from 1840 to 1849—between the era of the fur trappers and the beginning of the gold rush. Even with mountain men as guides, these pioneers literally plunged into the unknown, braving all manner of danger, including hunger, thirst, disease, and drowning. Employing numerous illustrations and extensive primary sources, including original diaries and memoirs, McLynn underscores the incredible heroism and dangerous folly on the overland trails. His authoritative narrative investigates the events leading up to the opening of the trails, the wagons and animals used, the roles of women, relations with Native Americans, and much else. The climax arrives in McLynn’s expertly re-created tale of the dreadful Donner party, and he closes with Brigham Young and the Mormons beginning communities of their own. Full of high drama, tragedy, and triumph, “rarely has a book so wonderfully brought to life the riveting tales of Americans’ trek to the Pacific” (Publishers Weekly).

Download or read book Pioneers written by Rick Steber and published by Bonanza Publishing. This book was released on with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain men and fur traders were the first to travel the route that would one day become the Oregon Trail. In their wake came missionaries who wrote letters and reports describing the far side of the continent and praising the mild climate, healthful conditions and the deep, fertile soil. Historians recognize 1843 as the official beginning of the Oregon Trail.That spring a group of a thousand land-hungry pioneers with 120 wagons and 5,000 head of cattle departed from Elm Grove, Missouri. Some of their wagons were abandoned along the Snake plateau but other were brought to the Columbia River where flat-bottomed boats were built and floated through the dangerous rapids of the Columbia Gorge to the Willamette Valley. It took the pioneers from early spring until late fall to reach the far west. They threw together shelters and subsisted that first winter on fish, game and the generosity of their neighbors, both white and Indian. Come spring they cleared ground, tilled the virgin soil and planted crops. The heyday of the Oregon Trail occurred after gold was discovered in California in 1848; it is estimated one-quarter million pioneers traveled overland on the Oregon Trail. From these early emigrants the social fabric of the West was woven. Within a few years communities were established and schools and churches were built. Then came stage lines, mail deliveries, railroads, telegraph wires and the other trappings of the white man's civilization.
Download or read book Trail Ruts written by Richard Lewis Carter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving odds from impassible mud to temperatures in the 120s, a group of ordinary people cross the Oregon Trail in 1959 just as their ancestors had a century before-and find that their own tempers might halt the journey. Dick Carter weaves the history of the original Oregon Trail where his great grandmother died in 1852 with the story of the group of re-enactors he led to retrace their footsteps. The risks of 19th century cholera are replaced with dangers of driving wagons pulled by skittish livestock on interstate highways where traditional routes had been fenced. Big personalities "suffering from too much togetherness" trek together for four months. Romantic nights singing camp songs under the stars give way to threats until the young Carter completes his journey with a maturing sense of human nature and community. Stunning photographs enhance the tale. Martha Crites, author of Grave Disturbance
