Publisher's Summary: Imagine you are traveling west from Independence, Missouri, on a 2,000 mile trip to Oregon in the mid 1800s. Since there are no cars, trains, or passenger jet services you take the most reliable and speedy form of transportation available at the time: a wagon. After completing this dangerous trip you hear about the new cutting edge technology that has just reduced the dangerous 2,000 mile trip down to a week, all for the price of one ticket. In 1869, after decades of travel, the Oregon Trail fell into disuse.
