The Discovery of the Oregon Trail:

Robert Stuart's Narratives of His

Overland Trip Eastward from

Astoria in 1812-13

 

by Philip Ashton Rollins (Editor)

Lewis and Clark get all the credit, but it was Robert Stuart's expedition that first located a workable route across the Rockies. And it could be argued that Stuart's journey was filled with considerably more adventure. Stuart's trek remains the great untold story of the American West.

New York Times:

" A major contribution to Americana... Not only has Mr. Rollins brought to light one of the most important and absorbing records of early Western exploration... but he has presented an example of American historical research at its best. The volume is beyond praise."
