BOOK EXCERPT:
The epic journey of the Sager children by covered wagon from Missouri to Oregon in 1848. “Father wanted us to go on to Oregon, and that’s where we’re going!” When the wagon train pulled out of Missouri in 1844, John Sager thought the trip West would be great fun. But now both his father and mother are dead. Young John is determined to lead his brother and five sisters a thousand miles through the wilderness to Oregon...braving hunger, thirst, and unknown danger—alone! Based on a true story, this is an inspiring saga of heroism and a family’s perseverance in the rugged Old West.

BOOK EXCERPT:
'Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail' is a book written by Ezra Meeker about his experience traveling the Oregon Trail by ox-drawn wagon as a young man, migrating from Iowa to the Pacific Coast. Later on in his life, Meeker became convinced that the Oregon Trail was being forgotten, and he determined to bring it publicity so it could be marked and monuments erected. In 1906–1908, while in his late 70s, he retraced his steps along the Oregon Trail by wagon, seeking to build monuments in communities along the way. His trek reached New York City, and in Washington, D.C., he met President Theodore Roosevelt. He traveled the Trail again several times in the final two decades of this life, including by oxcart in 1910–1912 and by airplane in 1924.
