Going Along the Emigrant Trails by Barbara Fifer

Imagine that you and your family are heading west in a covered wagon to Oregon country or California.  For four months you will walk as far as 2,000 miles along an eleven ft wagon across prairies, mountains, and dangerous rivers battling rain, hail, insects, hot sun, fatigue, and even snow.  You will end endless meals of beans and bacon, see military forts and geographical landmarks, and possibly Indians and buffalo.
