Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press Blazing a Wagon Trail to Oregon is the story of a determined group of American pioneers who set out to move their families on wheeled vehicles from the settled frontier in Missouri to the far Pacific shore. Their incentive was simple enough. Times were tough in 1843, and they had heard of a lush new land existing in a place called Oregon, a land ready to be settled by hard-working farmers. Although a new life seemed to await them just over the horizon, none of them suspected how formidable that horizon really was. Diaries, letters home, and later reminiscences tell their stories and document their emotional responses to their experiences. Beginning with the earliest assembly of wagons outside the frontier town of Independence, Missouri, the reader follows "this grand adventure" to its conclusion six months later in Oregon. By introducing the various participants through a weekly chronicle, the author enables readers to view these shared experiences from sometimes revealingly different angles of vision. In effect, readers themselves become vicarious members of the train.

From the banks of the Mississippi and from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Chicago of Al Capone they came: Landino from his native Italy and Eleanor from her home in Iowa. Each had been drawn to the glamor of the city. Instead they had fallen prey to the influence of the Capone Mob as it was spreading its criminal activities throughout Chicago. After escaping from Capone’s grip, Landino and Eleanor meet in a gold mining town in Montana. But, the tentacles of Big Al persist as the two try to carve out a new life for themselves in Montana.
