The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey
by Rinker Buck

"I had known long before I rode a covered wagon to Oregon that naivete was the mother of adventure."
I would very much agree with this statement. There are a lot of things we wouldn't have done, had we truly known what we were getting into at the start. But c'mon, who doesn't know that driving a covered wagon from Missouri to Oregon would be rather difficult?

Love that sentence.
Can you imagine traveling in a covered wagon? It had to be awful.
I just finished book where a wagon train left for the West. Lots of hardships.
Thanks for sharing...ENJOY your weekend.
