First Place Winner of the Purple Dragonfly Book Award for Historical Fiction
Reviewed and endorsed by The Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA), the End of the Trail Interpretive Center and Museum in Oregon City, and WyoHistory.org.
The story of the Oregon Trail is a fascinating American adventure.
Who better to narrate the story of the Oregon Trail than the arrogant but lovable ox pulling his family in a covered wagon from Missouri to Oregon in 1843?
Ollie Ox, and his yoke mate, Herb, describe quite an adventure as they cross vast expanses of rugged, inhospitable wilderness and treacherous, rushing rivers in extreme weather and constantly changing conditions.
The Westward Migration along the Oregon Trail during the 19th century is one of the most important events in American history. It is estimated that 500,000 people made the trek from Missouri to Oregon. Of that number, about 40,000 were children.
Book includes:
map
lists of supplies needed
spellbinding adventures of climbing & descending steep hills, dangerous river crossings and meeting and trading with various Indian tribes.
Ollie Ox narrates the story in a manner emphasizing traits such as responsibility, loyalty, tenacity, and commitment. And he accomplishes all of this while making the reader smile. Quite a feat for a 2000 pound ox.
Beautiful color illustrations, photographs, and paintings bring the Oregon Trail and the beauty of the American West to life.
