Death and Danger on the Oregon Trail
The Oregon Trail led thousands of pioneers overland across mountains and plains to the Pacific Coast, risking their lives and fortunes in the search for a better life. One such traveler was Jonathan Periam, farmer and journalist, who wrote down his experiences shortly before his death. This episode represents part one of three from Periam's account, "The Argonaut's Trail."

"The Argonaut's Trail" was originally published in serialized form in the farm journal Prairie Farmer in 1911 and is now in the public domain. Reconstructing Periam's life has been a feature of my research in agricultural history.
