Reddit reviews The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey

If anyone is interested in these sorts of wagons, a guy took one down the original Oregon Trail a few years ago and wrote a bestselling book on it. Tl;Dr: mules>oxen.

The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey is a great book about traveling the Oregon Trail via covered wagon in the modern era.

If anyone is interested about the history of the Oregon Trail, as well as how much of it has been preserved today, I highly recommend checking out The Oregon Trail by Rinker Buck. It is a fascinating read and I learned a lot more about the trail than I had known before.

I read a book recently about a guy who recreated the journey. It’s pretty crazy. Link
