Alternate title on front cover: "Story of the Old Oregon Trail: The World's Most Historic Highway and the Road to America's Scenic Wonderland." 5 1/4" x 9." Twenty-four pages, complete. Several small black-and-white illustrations, complete. Many of the illustrations are simplified maps showing sections of the Oregon Trail with noted towns and places of interest. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, a few small wrinkles and creases and slightly bumped corners. Covers are clean and intact overall but have two black library stamps, light soiling, slight age toning, light to moderate darkening, a few small stains or spots of discoloration, and a few small wrinkles and creases. A Very Good copy. A concise history about the Oregon Trail. Author Walter E. Meacham, President of the Old Oregon Trail Association, describes different expeditions and migrations undertaken on the Oregon Trail by different explorers, travelers, and pioneers. Meacham begins with a brief history of the fur trading industry in the Pacific Northwest. Then he proceeds to describe the Hunt expedition of the early nineteenth century that traveled to Fort Astoria. He highlights noted members of the Hunt party; the arduous toil and dangers of the journey; frequent interactions and trade with Indigenous Peoples along the way; hardships and the massacre along the Snake River (colloquially called the "Mad River"); and the resourcefulness and fortitude of the only Indigenous woman on the expedition, Marie Dorian. Meacham then briefly describes the expedition of Dr. Whitman. The text that follows describes the 1852 emigrant train on the Oregon Trail. Meacham notes the numerous casualties on the trail resulting from cholera. He also pays tribute to pioneer Ezra Meeker who undertook several expeditions to mark and preserve the Oregon Trail. A special tribute is given to widowed pioneer women who took charge of the wagons and led and continued the journey onward after their husbands had passed. Meacham concludes his history with a chronological development of land along the trail with the advent of modern transportation and technology.…
