About the book
Travelling over 2,000 miles from Missouri to Oregon in a covered wagon pulled by mules, Buck follows in the wheel ruts of the pioneers who transformed a nation in the 19th century. Part travelogue, part historical exploration, the narrative weaves together Buck's present-day adventures with rich insights into the original pioneer experience. Along the way, he encounters contemporary Americans, wrestles with stubborn mules, and discovers how the Oregon Trail shaped the country's character and mythology. This is an irresistible blend of humour, historical detective work, and the timeless appeal of hitting the open trail.
