The listing, Bound for Oregon Paperback has ended.
This book ought to get 100 stars. It is a great and realistic account of the trip from Arkansas to Oregon that Mary Ellen Todd's family took. It tells a vivid and seemingly true tale about the six month journey, the life Mary Ellen and her family found in Oregon, and Mary Ellen's reluctance to part with her hometown and reletives--most of all, her grandmother. You can meet Mary Ellen, her parents, her sisters, and her brother, as well as John, the Grants, and other travellers that they encounter along the way. While reading this, I was carried of in a time machiene to join in the trip. I hope that nobody will ever write an accusing review for such a wonderful book.
