Wagon Wheels: A Contemporary Journey on the Oregon Trail
by Candy Moulton, Ben Kern
Category: History

When Horse-Drawn wagons retraced the Oregon Trail to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Great Migration, Candy Moulton, as a correspondent for the Casper Star-Tribune, climbed into the lead wagon driven by Ben Kern. Moulton and Kern's Wagon Wheels is a unique book comparing the trail and the trip -- then and now. Read about the journey, the friendships, the landscape, the weather, the animals, and the politics of an overland crossing by wagon. Draw conclusions about which things have changed in 150 years and which seem to remain the same.
