Mr. Harding's Oregon Trail Adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948168007)

John Harding is taking his family to Oregon in 1850 and writing letters to you. Read his letters as he tells why they are going and what they hope to get from the long journey. Follow along as the Harding family faces disease, treacherous river crossings, and Indians. This is a companion book to Lura's Oregon Trail Adventure (written by his 10-year-old daughter) and Jacob's Oregon Trail Adventure (written by his 14-year-old son) and Mrs. Harding's Oregon Trail Adventure (written by his wife and scheduled for release in 2025). These four books give a more complete picture of what the trail is like for a family. These fictional letters are historically accurate and reflect the living conditions, slang, and attitudes of the 1850s. John Harding himself is a farmer from Tennessee, anti-slavery, lives a Christian life, and has his own political views which may or may not be the views of the author. He is a man of his time.
