Reviews

Exploring the Oregon Trail: America’s Historic Road Trip by Kay and David Scott of Valdosta, Georgia, is a guide to many of the most interesting and reachable landmarks and facilities on the Oregon Trail, filled with maps, photos, interviews, and information on key sites and people. It will certainly appeal to those who are new to exploring the trail or wishing to explore beyond areas they already know. It is a relatively compact, sturdy paperback suitable for taking on the road or reading at home.... This is certainly a book I will be acquiring for friends and family members I want to encourage to learn more about and to see more of the Oregon Trail.
