The end of the Oregon Trail is near, young pioneer—the final leg of your journey starts here. But, do you have the grit to make it to Oregon City? The wild frontier is full of risks and unpredictable surprises! It's 1850 and you've been traveling for more than three months with your family, covered wagon, and oxen. There are holes in the bottoms of your shoes. You've faced grizzly bears, traded with merchants, and wild bandits.

With numbers swelled by Oregon-bound settlers as well as hordes of gold-seekers destined for California, the 1852 overland migration was the largest on record in a year taking a terrible toll in lives mainly due to deadly cholera. Included here are firsthand accounts of this fateful year, including the words and thoughts of a young married couple, Mary Ann and Willis Boatman, released for the first time in book-length form. In its immediacy, Surviving the Oregon Trail, 1852 opens a window to the travails of the overland journeyers--their stark camps, treacherous river fordings, and dishonest countrymen; the shimmering plains and mountain vastnesses; trepidation at crossing ancient Indian lands; and the dark angel of death hovering over the wagon columns. But also found here are acts of valor, compassion, and kindness, and the hope for a new life in a new land at the end of the trail.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The earliest American settlers in Oregon got by with as little government as possible, including law enforcement. That worked for a time, because crime was rare and justice was a do-it-yourself affair.But that independence came at a price, because different cultures had sometimes very different notions of what constituted law and order, often shaped by religion and influenced by ideas about race, class, gender, sex, ethnicity, and the concept of public versus private property. Obviously, none of those issues is settled easily by enacting a law, because we're still wrestling with all of them today.To complicate matters, there have been dramatic shifts in how people view mercy, mental illness, capital punishment, and the role of forensic science.To put it mildly, the path to what constitutes modern law and order has been as bumpy as the Oregon Trail that built the state in the first place.
