Download or read book The Oregon Trail written by David Dary and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major one-volume history of the Oregon Trail from its earliest beginnings to the present, by a prize-winning historian of the American West. Starting with an overview of Oregon Country in the early 1800s, a vast area then the object of international rivalry among Spain, Britain, Russia, and the United States, David Dary gives us the whole sweeping story of those who came to explore, to exploit, and, finally, to settle there. Using diaries, journals, company and expedition reports, and newspaper accounts, David Dary takes us inside the experience of the continuing waves of people who traveled the Oregon Trail or took its cutoffs to Utah, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and California. He introduces us to the fur traders who set up the first “forts” as centers to ply their trade; the missionaries bent on converting the Indians to Christianity; the mountain men and voyageurs who settled down at last in the fertile Willamette Valley; the farmers and their families propelled west by economic bad times in the East; and, of course, the gold-seekers, Pony Express riders, journalists, artists, and entrepreneurs who all added their unique presence to the land they traversed. We meet well-known figures–John Jacob Astor, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, John Frémont, the Donners, and Red Cloud, among others–as well as dozens of little-known men, women, and children who jotted down what they were seeing and feeling in journals, letters, or perhaps even on a rock or a gravestone. Throughout, Dary keeps us informed of developments in the East and their influence on events in the West, among them the building of the transcontinental railroad and the efforts of the far western settlements to become U.S. territories and eventually states. Above all, The Oregon Trail offers a panoramic look at the romance, colorful stories, hardships, and joys of the pioneers who made up this tremendous and historic migration.

NOTES The Oregon Trail was first published in the Knickerbocker Magazine, beginning in 1847. Two years later it appeared in book form. The excitement following the discovery of gold in California induced the publishers to change the title to The California and Oregon Trail. In the fourth edition, 1872, the original title was restored. The present edition follows the full text of the original volume of 1849. The edition of 1872 was revised and greatly abbreviated. Parkman's punctuation differs in many respects from our usage to-day, but it has been retained as far as possible. His spelling has also been retained except when wrong or followiig a usage now entirely discredited. CHAPTER I 5. the journey to Oregon and California. From Independence and Westport, Missouri, northwest and southwest led two great trails. The Oregon Trail ascended the Platte River to the Rocky Mountains, where it followed the famous South Pass between the Rocky and Wind River Mountains. From this Eoint it descended the Snake River and the Columbia to the eart of Oregon country. Northwest of Great Salt Lake a branch trail three years after Parkman's trip led the "FortyNiners" to California. The Oregon Trail, in its more than two thousand miles between Independence and Fort Vancouver, presented to the emigrants no signs of civilized habitation except at four trading posts. Parkman reached only the first of these, Fort Laramie. The Oregon Trail was the longest and greatest continuous highway known to history. In places it was more than one hundred feet wide, as can still be seen after many years of disuse. It was not built, but made--explored by traders and carved into a deep furrow by the thousands of emigrants who took advantage of the last great opportunity of...
