They battle harsh weather conditions, treacherous rapids, hostile Native American tribesmen, and everything else that comes with crossing an untamed land. Buck brings his readers along on this exciting adventure as he and his brother Nick travel back in time more than 150 years to experience for themselves what it was like to pioneer their way across America. This epic journey was made possible by improvements in transportation-the invention of the covered wagon, steel plows that broke through prairie sod, and telegraph lines that linked East and West. In 1848, one thousand pioneers crossed the plains and mountains to establish a new life in Oregon Country.
Rinker Buck’s The Oregon Trail is the true story of two brothers who set out to recreate their ancestors’ journey along the original route of America’s first wagon train.
