The Oregon Trail

By Benjamin Proudfit

Book Overview

For more than three decades in the mid-1800s, the Oregon Trail was the main way settlers traveled west. Today, people can visit parts of this historic trail, and even walk where pioneers did as they made their way to new lives in the Pacific Northwest and California. Complemented by full-color photographs, the main content addresses the historical context of the trail to supplement the social studies curriculum. Fact boxes offer tips to those traveling along the trail and suggest cool, quirky, and fun destinations near it.
