Book: Oregon Trail Stories
Author: David Klausmeyer
Pages: 160
This is my 138th read for the year
This is a collection of letters written by various people during the great migration in the 1800s. I liked this book. It is very short, but I liked reading the letters from various people who traveled looking for a better life. Told by men and women it speaks of their trials and successes, death and survival. My favorite story was during what seemed like the worst winter storm in history where they got over 12 feet of snow and so many people perished. The letters are transcribed on the pages exactly as the people wrote them (misspellings and all). Good little book.
