The unabridged Great Illustrated Classics, illustrated by Thomas Hart Benton, and introduction by Hatrry Sinclair Drago. "The Oregon Trail" is one of the truly great autobiographical narratives of life on the high plains as it really was. Parkman gives a day-to-day account of his experiences in the saddle, among the trappers at Fort Laramie, and on his journeyings with a band of Nomadic Ogillallah Sioux. He describes life in their villages, the preparations for war and the strenuous trailing into the Black Hills (now Laramie Mountains) in a chronicle that has become a classic of the Old West.
