About the Author Having grown up in the Rockies avoiding dysentery in the ubiquitous computer game, the Oregon Trail has always captured Katrina Emery's imagination. Not only does she currently live at the end of the eponymous trail in the Promised Land of Oregon, she also spent a few years living in Nebraska, where the rolling fields gave prairie schooners their names. Now living in Oregon for the past 9 years, she's ferried the Columbia River, spied the Pacific Ocean, and enjoyed the fruits of the historic farms that pioneers planted here. She knows where to find original wagon ruts that still exist on dusty roads and etched into stone, and loves digging deeper into history to find even more fascinating tales. A history buff and lover of stories with a sense of place, Katrina is also a food enthusiast and passionate writer. She's covered food, farms, travel, and family fun for publications like 1859: Oregon's Magazine, Edible Portland, Montavilla Farmers Market, Matador Travel, and Stay Wild. She is also a regular contributor to the national website Red Tricycle for Portland. Payment All payments are processed through PayPal and give you; the buyer protection on your purchase.
