Retold for young readers with the help of Howard R. Driggs, this is Ezra Meeker’s account of leaving Indiana and Iowa for Oregon in 1852, river crossings, cholera on the plains, Indian country and settlement on Puget Sound. It ends with his own crusade, in old age, to mark the trail by driving an ox team back over it.
A vivid first-hand story of the Oregon Trail, written so a family can read it together. Download the free EPUB.
