Oregon Trail

Welcome to the Oregon Trail

The photographs on this tour of the Oregon Trail were all taken by Kevin Boos and are copyrighted, but I give permission to use any of them free of charge for non-profit educational or personal purposes. All I ask is that you give credit to me and let others know of this web site, www.kevinboos.com. The Tour of the Oregon Trail can be used when teaching American History, Westward Expansion, many state histories, or the Oregon Trail. Download Isaac - A Journey to Oregon from Apple, Smashwords, Kobo, and other outlets as they become available to enrich your curriculum. As you read the book and view these photographs, you and your students can see what Isaac and Abe, and the thousands of emigrants saw as they traveled the trail. The paintings are all by William Henry Jackson and I have permission of Scotts Bluff National Monument to use them. I am not giving you permission to copy them. For more extensive information about the trail purchase The Oregon Trail Revisited by Gregory M. Franzwa. The maps on these pages come from the National Park Service. Their site gives a wealth of information about the Oregon Trail.
