The oregon trail [electronic resource] : A new american journey. Rinker Buck.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • #1 Indie Next Pick • Winner of the PEN New England Award "Enchanting...A book filled with so much love...Long before Oregon, Rinker Buck has convinced us that the best way to see America is from the seat of a covered wagon." — The Wall Street Journal "Amazing...A real nonfiction thriller." —Ian Frazier, The New York Review of Books "Absorbing...Winning...The many layers in The Oregon Trail are linked by Mr. Buck's voice, which is alert and unpretentious in a manner that put me in mind of Bill Bryson's comic tone in A Walk in the Woods ." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times A major bestseller that has been hailed as a "quintessential American story" ( Christian Science Monitor ), Rinker Buck's The Oregon Trail is an epic account of traveling the 2,000-mile length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way—in a covered wagon with a team of mules—that has captivated readers, critics, and booksellers from coast to coast. Simultaneously a majestic journey across the West, a significant work of history, and a moving personal saga, Buck's chronicle is a "laugh-out-loud masterpiece" ( Willamette Week ) that "so ensnares the emotions it becomes a tear-jerker at its close" ( Star Tribune, Minneapolis) and "will leave you daydreaming and hungry to see this land" ( The Boston Globe ).
