The Oregon Trail Exuberantly documents Francis Parkman's 1846 expedition into the American wilderness.  Observed with a reporter's eye and recorded in detail, the whole panorama of life on the Great Plains comes forth against the cruel indifference and majesty of the vast land itself -- the emigrants with their "broad-brimmed hats, thin visages, and staring eyes: whose days were filled with hardship, and the Indians and buffalo whose demise Parkman foresaw.
