Description
Now,
for the first time on video, the complete story
of the hardy pioneers who changed the course
of American history. Three years in the making,
this landmark project is now available at a
very special price. What makes this series so
special?
Quality:
Immediately, you'll notice the distinctive cinematography
of the Emmy-award winning crew. They traveled
the entire length of the Trail, filming the
untouched scenic vistas that still exist along
much of the route.
Accuracy:
Great care was taken to ensure historical accuracy.
Every rut you'll see is the actual Oregon Trail;
every still image is from the Trail's glory
years. The producers spent three years just
doing research--sifting through archives, reading
old diaries--because they wanted it to be done
right.Also, interspersed throughout the film
are fascinating comments from the Trail's most
renowned historians--Merrill Mattes, William
Hill, Larry Jones and Charlie Martin Sr.
Rare
images: Woven into the film are hundreds of
rare paintings, photos and sketches from the
mid-1800s. The filmmakers relentlessly searched
archives from coast to coast to compile an incredible
collection of the Trail's most fascinating historic
images.

journey is covered: Lewis and Clark . The Astorians.
The Whitmans. The Great Migration. Reasons
behind the journey. Political overtones. Preparations
