Oregon Trail Remenisance
Below is a link to a remenisance(sp?) of one Henry Garrison as he tells of his families exploits while on the Oregon Trail and then a small bit about their first year on their homestead.
Long, but thought some might enjoy the history...

Follow links at bottom of the Garrison story for even more diaries and histories from Oregon Trail pioneers.

Wow!

Reminds me of Louis L' Amour stories. And those I literally cannot get enough of!

Thanks for sharing!
