I have just finished the book "Oregon Trail". I have uploaded it to
http://freepages.books.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~billie0w/oregon_trail/orego...
People in Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon may want to link to it.
Those were the primary states crossed.
Here's an excerpt from the Notes:
The Oregon Trail is primarily a guidebook, but it is also history,
told, after the first chapter, in geographical rather than
chronological or topical sequence. The explorers Lewis and Clark, the
fur trader Manuel Lisa, the refugee Mormons, and the construction gang
of the Union Pacific Railroad are tied together by campgrounds near
the same place on the bank of the muddy Missouri. The first chapter
gives the background and paints in the broad outlines of the story; it
also introduces some of the leading characters whose activities and
trials are related in their rich details, sometimes bizarre and
occasionally tragic, in the following sections.
There are other books that may be of interest at on the same site.
