Description: The Oregon Trail : A New American Journey by Rinker Buck (2016, Trade Paperback)Ships USPS Media Mail. Shipping to US addresses only. Thank you. My sister and I have read this book, and it is a very good true story. It is about two brothers on a modern day covered wagon trip along the Oregon Trail. The book starts out with the purchasing of the mules and wagon, and refitting of the wagon, etc. It was really interesting to me, as my mother's family moved in a covered wagon when she was a very young girl. I always wondered what it would be like. I also loved the descriptions of the mules - with their different personalities and pulling abilities. Synopsis: The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey. Author and journalist Rinker Buck recounts his and his brother's 4 month long journey along the Oregon Trail via mule-drawn covered wagon. The journey was from Troy, Kansas to just outside Baker City, Oregon in 2011. Review: “Inspired by a family trip in a covered wagon in the 1950s, Rinker Buck and his brother Nick set out by wagon to discover what remains of the Oregon Trail between Missouri and Oregon. Along the way, readers learn about wagon design, mule heritage, and what pioneers needed to endure traveling west in the 19th century. This is also a moving personal story of brotherhood, endurance, and the kindness of strangers. Buck weaves fact, action, and reflection together into a page-turning delight that history buffs and fans of contemporary nonfiction will not want to miss.”
