And...a word from the author... It is difficult to comprehend that just over a hundred years ago, men and women were conquering the outer limits of the westward frontier--when today they are conquering the thresholds of outer space. A half a million men and women courageously traveled the trails into a strange land--following the Indian's and trapper's footprints to gold fields and new settlements into the western frontier. These pages will try to describe one such trail--the Overland Trail--how and why it began in 1862 under the direction of Ben Holladay, and how the wagon wheels and hoof beats were abruptly silenced.
