Bruff's Wake
Author: Harold L. James
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781893061088
Category : California
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Bruff's Wake tells the story of forty-niners who survived hardship with resolve and endurance. The accompanying illustrations, which include a number of Bruff's sketches paired with modern photographs taken at the same sites, give vivid depictions of life and death on the California Trail in 1849. In addition, Bruff's route is correlated to the geography of the modern era, so that the trail can be traced on modern maps. Taken together, the narrative, sketches, photographs, and geological descriptions of the terrain, coupled with generous quotes from Bruff's long-out-of-print journal, allow the reader to follow in Bruff's wake" -- Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.

The Brazen Overlanders of 1845
Author: Donna Wojcik Montgomery
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
In 1845 many people gave up homes, farms, family ties, life-time friends, and close neighbors to make a trek of over 2,000 miles in the face of unknown dangers. Why? They had moved to the area around the Mississippi River and its tributaries to find new farmland and to escape slavery, only to find disease that left many chronically ill, floods that swept away years of hard work, and, during the late 1830s and early 1840s, national monetary problems. These people looked westward again, towards Oregon territory, in 1845. Under President James Polk, land was made available to those who would emigrate to and settle in the territory.
