This New York Times Bestseller is an epic account of Rinker Buck's 2,000-mile journey across the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon with a team of mules. The book is a blend of a cross-country adventure, American history, and a personal saga. It is a "nonfiction thriller" that is both "enchanting" and "laugh-out-loud" while being a "quintessential American story."
