Book Overview

""Overland In A Covered Wagon: An Autobiography"" is a memoir by Joaquin Miller, an American poet and writer who lived from 1837 to 1913. In this book, Miller recounts his experiences traveling by covered wagon from Missouri to California during the gold rush of 1850. He describes the challenges and dangers of the journey, including encounters with Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and the constant threat of illness and injury. Along the way, Miller also reflects on the beauty of the American West and the opportunities it offered to those brave enough to pursue their dreams. This book offers a unique perspective on the history of the American West and the pioneering spirit that drove many to seek a better life in the frontier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
