The Oregon Trail de Francis Parkman

The Oregon Trail

Autor Francis Parkman
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The so-called Millenials grew up playing a highly pixelated game which supposedly gave them a taste of life on the Oregon Trail, the road from the Midwest to the real West, which was fraught with danger from all manner of doom, like snake bites, cholera and forded rivers gone bad. For a more realistic take on the journey there is Francis Parkman's The Oregon Trail, an observant first-hand depiction of the author's travels along the very edge of the emerging American frontier. At just 23 when he made the journey, Parkman's Oregon Trail is brimful of youthful exuberance and vivid descriptions.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The Oregon Trail is the gripping account of Francis Parkman's journey west across North America in 1846. After crossing the Allegheny Mountains by coach and continuing by boat and wagon to Westport, Missouri, he set out with three companions on a horseback journey that would ultimately take him over two thousand miles. In the course of his travels, Parkman encountered numerous Indians, living among a Sioux tribe for a time, as well as meeting traders, trappers, and emigrants searching for a new life. His detailed description of the journey, set against the vast majesty of the Great Plains, has emerged through the generations as a classic narrative of one man's exploration of the American Wilderness. It is a journey which has shaped our picture of mid-nineteenth-century America and which has influenced our perception of American civilization. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Recenzii

The book, in brief, is excellent and has the true wild game flavor. And amazingly tickled will all their palates be, who are so lucky as to read it.
