Wagons West: The Epic Story of America's Overland Trails Overviews Frank McLynn has penned a year-by-year account of the pioneering efforts to conquer and settle the American West. Wagons West is a stirring history of the years from 1840 to 1849 — between the era of the fur trappers and the beginning of the gold rush. In all the sagas of human migration, few can top the drama of the journey by Midwestern farmers to Oregon and California. Although they used mountain men as guides, they went almost literally into the unknown, braving dangers from hunger, thirst, disease, and drowning. Using illustrations, along with original diaries and memoirs, McLynn underscores the incredible heroism and dangerous folly on the overland trails. His well-informed and authoritative narrative investigates the events leading up to the opening of the trails, the wagons and animals used by the pioneers, the role of women, relations with Native Americans, and much else. The climax arrives in McLynn's expertly re-created tale of the dreadful Donner party, and he closes with Brigham Young and the Mormons beginning communites of their own. Full of high drama, tragedy, and triumph, it brilliantly chronicles one of the principal chapters in the creation of the United States as we know it today. .../ Wagons West: The Epic Story of America's Overland Trails / mountain weber Wagons West: The Epic Story of America's Overland Trails mountain weber for CHEAPEST HOT PRODUCT ONLINE : BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 2011 !!!

A worthwhile read for some : Wagons West: The Epic Story of America's Overland Trails

Wagons West by Frank McLynn is an additional one great book by an author who has had a string of them. This book covers the era between the end of the fur traders and the start of the gold rush and tells the stories of the migrants who crossed deserts and mountains often without strict maps or allowable supplies to reach the land of milk and honey in California and Oregon. While the book focuses on "the Oregon Trail" it also cover the Santa Fe Trail and other trails into California. The Oregon Trail is a series of distinct trials most ordinarily idea of as leaving from Independence Missouri but could also leave via Boise or Kansas City to name a few with an end destination of Oregon or northern California. The book covers the sublime wagons of the Donner's and their ill fated venture ending in displays on cannibalism and depredation towards women and children. It also covers the resettlement of the Mormons and how they changed life on the trails by settling in Salt Lake City. It is (like his other books) very detail oriented and there is a lot to take in during the short amount of pages. As some others have noted this is not a quick read but well worth the time and packed full of very strong data about the overland trails and the people who rode them. For those who have a knowledge about how the Us changed during these years and want to get the details of that turn this is a perfect book to read.
