Seeing the Elephant by Joyce Badgley Hunsaker
From the late 1830's to the mid - 1870's, nearly half a million ordinary folk left farms and families, friends, and all that was familiar and turned their faces west to Oregon to California. This title covers timelines, maps, photographs, and historical illustrations that enable readers to trace Trail migration chronologically and geographically.
