The Real History of the Oregon Trail (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348028909)

The Oregon Trail was a major route that led to the westward expansion of the United States during the 1800s. Although the trail brought new opportunities for many people, not everyone benefited equally from the trail, and the full history has sometimes been left out of history. Learn about the key people, events, and ideas that led to the Oregon Trail and the lasting consequences of the mass migration.

Have you ever considered what's missing from history books? In Left Out of History, explore the misunderstood and underexamined past in this engaging series. Compelling photographs and primary sources help bring previously buried history to light.

Read Woke(TM) Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
