{"product_id":"9780874223330","title":"Wagons To The Willamette: Captain Levi Scott And The Southern Route To Oregon, 1844 1847","description":"After an arduous overland journey, Levi Scott and his son John arrived in Oregon City in November 1844. Scott joined the Jesse Applegate's 1846 expedition seeking a better, safer way through the Cascades to the Willamette Valley. Their new southern route wound through the Umpqua Valley, three mountain ranges, and the Black Rock Desert before meeting the established California Trail. Applegate recruited emigrants and while others went ahead to prepare the road, Scott led the initial wagon train west. He details a harrowing trip. Retracing the trail in 1847 and 1849, he again faced narrow escapes and deadly encounters with Native Americans. Edited and extensively annotated, Scott's unpublished autobiography has become \"Wagons to the Willamette.\" An exceptional contribution to Oregon Trail history, it is the only first-hand account written by someone who not only searched for the southern route but also accompanied its first wagon train. 9780874223330 0874223334 320 BOOK Applegate Trail NOT_MATURE http:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/content?id=Ru1zrgEACAAJ\u0026amp;printsec=frontcover\u0026amp;img=1\u0026amp;zoom=5\u0026amp;source=gbs_api en\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLevi Scott|James Layton Collins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eWashington State University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eOct 20, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e270 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0874223334\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780874223330\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Washington State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792982421809,"sku":"9780874223330","price":28.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780874223330.jpg?v=1712804655","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780874223330","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
