This is a good book about two different families from different times in history and both traveling from Missouri, to Oregon City.  One family is from 1846 and the other from NOW.

This book takes you on an interesting trip with both families.  In 1846 it would take you five months to travel from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon City.  Today it would only take 5 days to travel the same trip.

This is a fun way to learn about the history of our country.
