Then face the Oregon Trail as the life of traders and settlers of the 1850s is spectacularly illustrated. The Mormon Trail shows the Exodus to Zion amidst the lush prairie grasslands. The California Trail follows with incredible photographs of the diverse landscape and true stories of the adventures facing those who took this route.
