The Oregon Trail
A worthy complement to Richard Henry Dana's nearly contemporaneous Two Years Before the Mast. While Parkman's sojourn in the wilderness of 19th century prairies and Rocky Mountains was fairly brief, and crucially did not include a winter, the reader will be entertained and enlightened by his account of life on the undisturbed scene.
