In fact, it is one of the classic historical texts of its, or any, time. When the young historian Francis Parkman set out from Boston in 1846 to follow the famed Oregon Trail, he began a journey that was to enrich not only his life, but the life of our nation. For in Parkman's book~an outgrowth of that journey~ a vanished world speaks to those it yet fascinates. Recounting the events that occurred as he traveled from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Oregon Teritory and back, Parkman conjures up before us a West in the midst of profound change. Jumbled together, in the great westward movement that was then taking place, are people of every kind. A multitude of nationalties~ fench, Germans, Mexicans, Canadians, English, lrish~ struggle to survive and prosper in the new land. Trappers, fur traders, hunters, and guides are closely observed practicing their trades. The harsh, at times pitiless, life of the emigrants and settlers is starkly presented. The Indian Way of life is portrayed as equally doomed, at once tragic and extraordinarily stirring. As we witness American soldiers bound to conquer the Mexican Army and claim from them their golden lands, we recognize how soon the Indians would be forced to relinquish a country of their own. Parkman, who lived and traveled for a time among the Sioux Indians, writes vividly of a race and a culture that would suffer greatly from the taming of the West. The book is rich in characters, and Parkman's descriptions of the natural wonders of the wilderness are both lyrical and pragmatic. An accomplished naturalist and horticulturist, Francis Parkman brilliantly brings to life not only the peoples he met and the cultures he experienced while heading West, but the astonishing environment in which they existed. When Frederic Remington was commissioned to provide ilustrations for the 1892 edition of this work, the artist was inspired by Parkman and his still vibrant memories of that long~ago trip. The book retains its vigor and endures, in large part, because its author lived the history about which he wrote. The buffalo hunt, an Indian war, the summer migrations of an Indian village, the beauty and desolation of the vast Western space~in the pages of THE OREGON TRAIL these vivid images still survive.
