From the West to the West: Across the Plains to Oregon (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from From the West to the West: Across the Plains to Oregon

The events of pioneer life, which form the groundwork of this story, are woven into a composite whole by memory and imagination. But they are not personal, nor do they present the reader, except in a fragmentary and romantic sense, with the actual, individual lives of borderers I have known. The story, nevertheless, is true to life and border history; and, no matter what may be the fate of the book, the facts it delineates will never die.
