Product Description
From The Folio Society, this is a gorgeous copy of The Oregon Trail, a classic of American frontier literature written in 1848 by the American historian Francis Parkman (1823-1893).
Parkman spent three weeks on the trail in Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas where he hunted buffalo with Oglala Sioux Indians.
He provides detailed accounts of the hardships experienced while traveling across mountains and prairies; vibrant portraits of emigrants and Western wildlife; and vivid descriptions of Indian life and culture.
For this edition, The Folio Society reprinted the 1849 edition, adding a new map.
Beautiful paper.
Liberally illustrated with original works of art, of that time.
326 pages.
It's heavy.
The book comes in a hard slipcase.
There is no evidence that anyone read this book.
Both slipcase and book are in perfect condition.
Pristine.
