The Oregon Trail (SeaWolf Press Illustrated Classic)

A very nice edition with 85 illustrations by world-famous illustrators--80 by Frederic Remington and 5 by N. C. Wyeth. The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life (also published as The California & Oregon Trail) is a book written by Francis Parkman. It was originally serialized in twenty-one installments in 1847 and subsequently published as a book in 1849. The book is a first-person account of a 2-month summer tour in 1846 of the U.S. states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. Parkman was 23 at the time. The heart of the book covers the three weeks Parkman spent hunting buffalo with a band of Oglala Sioux. This edition contains illustrations by the well-known illustrators Frederic Remington and N. C. Wyeth.
