Now, Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary epic series based on the history-making trail drives.The Oregon TrailLou Spencer, Dill Summer, and their fourteen Texas cowboys briught a herd up to Independence, Missouri, and sold half to a wagon train heading West.

With winter closing in, Spencer's men were running out of time to reach the wide-open land of Oregon.
