Book Reviews of The Oregon Trail: Francis Parkman's Famous History of the 1846 Expedition
Book Review: An Excellent Book - but misnamed
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book giving the reader a first person view of the Frontier in the 1840s. The details make the reader feel as if they were living the adventure themselves.
If you are looking for a book that tells of a journey on the Oregon Trail, this is NOT the book for you. A better for the book title might have been "A Summer On The Frontier: Life Among The Indians and Explorers." The author follows the Oregon Trail until he reaches Fort Laramie, and then spends the rest of his time among the indians who inhabited the plains and badlands at the time.
If you are looking for vivid picture of life among the indians, buffaloes, and explorers, this IS the book for you!
Summary of The Oregon Trail: Francis Parkman's Famous History of the 1846 Expedition
Hear an eye-witness account of one of the grandest adventures in American history. Francis Parkman's journal -- written more than 150 years ago, in 1846 -- captures the color, spirit, and perspective of a Harvard-educated Bostonian traveling in the Rocky Mountains and living among the Dakota Sioux. Parkman's classic narrative traces his 1,700-mile journey, peopled by the traders, woodsmen, trappers, gamblers and Native Americans he encountered. Frank Muller's outstanding reading draws the listener into the drama. Named a 1996 "Best Audio for Memoir/Autobiography" by Publishers Weekly. 4 cassettes.History Books
