About this ebook
The Oregon Trail offers a critical view of the Conestoga wagon generation. The result of the notes Parkman took along the newly-developed roads to the West, the book put an end to the sentimentalized portrait of pioneer travel. Altering the course of American history and shaping early views of Native Americans, it denounces, in its descriptions of the Oglala tribe he visited, the stereotype of the Noble Savage.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was hard to put down.
The dauntless characters kept me entertained and the
writing was realistic and the exploits of these intrepid men
crossing the Rocky Mountains kept me interested enough to
regret that I finished it, like leaving a good friend’s company
