Lura and Jacob Harding are
traveling the Oregon Trail in 1850. All major incidents in the letters are
fictionalized to include the Hardings, but are authentic stories from the
Oregon Trail. |

Age 10. Lura wants to be a
teacher and has a real knack for trading. She gives a wealth of detail on her
chores and her family and what happens on the trail. She's a typical girl and
relates those things that are important to her-including her bratty little
sister's antics. (To read Lura's first letter, click here) 20 letters,
$38.50. (includes shipping) |

JACOB HARDING |

|
Age 14. Jacob plans to be a
farmer and is only getting his book learning so no one can cheat him. His
duties on the trail include prodding the oxen along, watching the loose
stock, and going hunting with his pa. He has more adventures than Lura does
and knows far more about the worries of the trail. (To read an excerpt, click

letters, $38.50. (includes shipping) |

JOHN HARDING Age 39. Father of Lura and Jacob, John writes about the journey to Oregon from an adult male perspective. He's a farmer, mostly self-educated, and wants a better future for his children.
