The
Oregon Trail - $19.95
Created
by a four-time Emmy-winning filmmaker, "The Oregon
Trail" chronicles the great mid-1800s trek across
the unsettled American West. One in ten pioneers died
along the way; many walked the entire 2,000 miles barefoot;

the ruts west in search of a better life. Rare photos,
diary excerpts, and stunning footage tell a fascinating
story of tragedy and triumph.

Education Association, the Oregon-California Trails
Association, and the prestigious Telly Awards.

Trail, including: Lewis and Clark, the Astorians, the
Whitmans, the Great Migration of 1843, reasons behind
the journey, life on the trail, and encounters with
Native Americans. Plus, the program includes background
on all the key sites along the way: Ash Hollow, Chimney
Rock, Scotts Bluffs, Ft. Laramie, Independence Rock,
South Pass, Ft. Bridger, Ft. Hall, Three-Island Crossing,

more. Two hours in length--divided into 4 half-hour
