The Oregon Trail

De: Francis Parkman

Narrado por: Frank Muller

Francis Parkman's journal - written more than 150 years ago, in 1846 - provides an eye-witness account of one of the grandest adventures in American history. At age 23, the Harvard-educated Bostonian traveled the Rocky Mountains, living among the Dakota Sioux. In his journal, he captured the color, spirit, and perspective of his era, as well as the exuberant confidence that was the mark of his time. Frank Muller's dramatic reading brings this captivating record to life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"...with a rich and colorful narrative style, [Parkman] is, in the opinion of many, the greatest of American historians." (Frank N. Magill, Cyclopedia of World Authors)

Short but very entertaining as a book to do work to’

This book is read very smoothly and not in fragments like some other readers recordings are sometime. Short enough to listen to in a day, easy enough to follow even when paused frequently...

listened to it as I drove the Oregon trail.

Awesome experience, people back then were cut from a different cloth. great historical document. would recommend the drive as well, but do it in the summer, way too cold. makes you really feel like you are there with them when it is -20f and 25mph

loved this historical, autobiographical

offers an excellent view of the country from times past. I learned a lot and very much enjoyed listening

Excellent!

Don't miss the chance to listen to this historical journal
So good, I listened twice and enjoyed researching names and places.

Enjoyable story

I truly appreciate this story and I was glad to find it and would recommend it to anyone who likes adventures and to hear the story from a different perspective!!

Great Story

It was like going back in time to experience what it was like to travel west and to live with the Indians. The author was very descriptive and the reader was really good.

Fascinating!

Well written and very well read. The narration kept my attention the whole time.

Oregon trail

growing up along the Arkansas River as a child I can relate well to this

The direction that they are going

At times, it was hard to figure out which direction they were going. And when they had reached the Oregon. When they started back east for the returning.

Great historical piece

This is an amazing look into the American frontier. It gives you an uncomfortably real look into cultural relations of the time from someone who was there.
