Wagon Wheels: A Contemporary Journey on the Oregon Trail
Candy Moulton & Ben Kern
Climb aboard Ben Kern’s lead wagon and retrace the Oregon Trail with the 150th Anniversary Wagon Train. Experience the trail first-hand through the diaries of modern-day travelers Ben Kern, Candy Moulton, and Earl Leggett, plus gain insight from the historic diaries of pioneer emigrants. It’s a trip you wont want to miss.
Wagon Wheels follows Kern’s wagon from campsite to campsite from Missouri to Oregon—all the while presenting historic backgrounds through careful research and expansive quotations from historic journals.
"Candy, Ben and Earl manage a feat of near magic..All
people who cherish the shreds of frontier that still exist in America,
and the values that arise from them, will clutch this book to their hearts."
