Who better to narrate the story of the Oregon Trail than the arrogant but lovable ox pulling his family in a covered wagon from Missouri to Oregonin 1843? Ollie Ox, and his yoke mate, Herb, describe quite an adventure as they cross vast expanses of rugged, inhospitable wilderness and treacherous, rushing rivers in extreme weather and constantly changing conditions. The Westward Migration along the Oregon Trail during the 19th century is one of the most important events in American history. It is estimated that 500,000 people made the trek from Missouri to Oregon. Of that number, about 40,000 were children.

Map from which children can learn, lists of supplies needed, spellbinding adventures of climbing & descending steep hills, dangerous river crossings and meeting and trading with various Indian tribes. Ollie Ox narrates the story in a manner emphasizing traits such as responsibility, loyalty, tenacity, and commitment. And he accomplishes all of this while making the reader smile. Quite a feat for a 2000 pound ox. Beautiful color illustrations, photographs, and paintings bring the Oregon Trail and the beauty of the American West to life.

Autorenporträt
I studied writing at Southern Illinois University and University of Iowa. I currently live in Oregon with my husband and 2 dogs, Charlie and Murphy. I have been fascinated by the story of the Oregon Trail since I was a child growing up just outside of Chicago. It's one part of history that belongs to children as much as it does adults since 40,000 children made the journey from Missouri to Oregon. I started writing children's books years ago when my son was dealing with some temporary physical problems that caused him to experience things differently from other children. I wrote books for him and enjoyed it so much that I just kept writing and writing.
