This story is wonderful and amazing. I listened while very sick in bed and it took my mind off my troubles better than anything else. Every American should learn from this historical book.
This is the epitome of transcendent sagas...this man's empathetic and expressive voice carries us to a place and time faraway and long ago...wonderful. So much to think about and learn about this lost world in our own time. Thank you.
Beautifully written historical novel folks.. Made the lives of the pioneers come alive. History class would have been so much more endearing if presented this way.
I don't understand why so many complain over something free. Personally, I just sped it to 1.25 speed and think it sounds just fine. To each their own, I guess...
This book isn't a "politically correct" novel. It is an historical novel, and reflects the culture and common attitudes of a different time. Understanding such differences could be an advantage to many to understand as well current differences between people. It is a good book, let yourself enjoy it.
Political correctness isn't even politically correct. It's the same shit, different day merely with the social controls switched around like a game of musical chairs and serving only the same type of political profiteers and opportunistic predators as it always has. I would say I hope one day people stop allowing themselves to be led around by their noses, but I've lived long enough now to know that is never going to happen. Our technology may progress to god-tier, but humans will forever be imprisoned by their medieval minds.
First it is not a novel, novels are the result of imagination, this is non-fiction, it is a travelogue. Like Costner's character in "Dances with wolves" Parkman had obviously great interest and empathy with the native Americans, he accepted their hospitality and respected their way of life. He was obviously impressed with some of their skills.
I love this reading. I use it to get to sleep and return to sleep if awakened. No excessive dramatization, no sharpy harpys reminding me of my bitchy nuns reading religious programming during primary school.
Pretty sure th8s is narrated by the great Ed Asner. He is the voice of the Grandfather from UP.... he is pretty old here, so if you have complaints about the way he sounds go read the damn book yourself
Every audiobook I listen to the comment section is full of people complaining about the narrator. Here’s an idea. Buy the book and read it yourself. Just a thought? lol
They should be great full for a classic book. Is totally free for one and all to enjoy. Personally played this audio many time s all way hear something I ve missed . Pressing play now 5:43
People that dislike read a book this long then u will understand what they had to do. would u like if someone disliked you if u read a massive book like this one
The book is a first-person account of a 2-month summer tour in 1846 of the U.S. states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. Parkman was 23 at the time. The heart of the book covers the three weeks Parkman spent hunting buffalo with a band of Oglala Sioux. He brilliantly describes what he saw and experienced. Native Americans hunted Bison (Buffalo) for thousands of years without decimating the population - it was the white man who drove the species to near extinction.
Definitely longer than a 2 month excursion!! The Plains Indians didn't hunt that way for thousands of years, the Sioux had horses for less than a hundred years at that time!!! It wasn't the same hunting buffalo on foot or using a buffalo ju.mp!!! It helps to have some knowledge of Native American History!! Parkman Jr. Wrote an amazing first hand experience of a dying culture at the hands of European Settlers!! Great Story of the Oregan Trail!!!!
I have read the whole book. Parkman has done a remarkable job of recording the old west. For America today known primarily by its bustling metropolises, we now know that it once was a land of the wilderness, the Delawares and the Shawnees and was forged through incessant progress by intrepid pioneers.
Nobby Barnes yes, progress is civilization, which comes with things like roads, buildings, parking lots, planes, trains, automobiles, power plants to charge the device that you’re complaining on, etc.
@@patrickking9600 Not all inventions are good for nature. Many Americans have complained about the way certain pioneers ruined the earth, and caused erosion for centuries. How the trains killed thousands of animals. But, I guess, there will always be people like you, who just shrug their shoulders and call it progress. Capitalism, and greed is more correct.
@Nobby Barnes Everywhere Europeans showed up, beautiful countries turned into shithole countries. It's time the young generation admits that, because we have books written by the good Europeans, complaining about that for centuries. It's a fight between the good, and the evil for the sake of our planet.
One of my very first computer games in the mid to late 90's, was the 'Organ Trail.' You had to prepare choosing staples/food , dry goods, that would not perish, choose your passengers, equipment that your wagon would need in the 'wagon train.' It was so enthralling until I kept messing up and getting the whole train wrecked...so I stopped playing...didn't want to lose any more lives!
visited my wife's home state of Wyoming last summer and visited the area around Chugwater Wy. were you can still see the wagon ruts of the Oregon Trail. My goodness the weather those poor folk must have endured....not to mention the natives that didnt appreciate visitors ...
I see some complaining of the reader...you can speed or slow down videos with the 3 dots on to right of screen when touched a menu comes down and I sometimes can adjust the speed to sue my preferences this one I speed up to 1.25 faster and liked it but also the original I like
I hoped he was using an 1840 pronunciation. If not, someone should have stopped him. Here in California we know better than to say it as the reader did. Where the heck in the US could he be and not know how it's said now?🙃🙃
This book is highly inaccurate in it's first chapter. The author doesn't seem to know where he is or what the facts are of how the trail was conducted. The trail did not start in St Louis; it started in Independence and Kansas City Missouri. Settlers took steamships to Independence or Westport landing in Kansas City Missouri. By the time this book was supposedly witnessed and authored in 1846 the trail started in Kansas City Missouri at a place called Westport landing. Settlers traveled from what is now downtown Kansas City Missouri to the settlement called Westport to be outfitted for the trails West. Westport was near the border of the Great American desert and the territory of Kansas and was thus The logical jumping off point. Kansas City Missouri and it's Westport landing was the farthest west one could travel by steamship before turning North at downtown Kansas City Missouri. Logically, settlers wanted to go west and not North and this is precisely why Westport landing became the prominent embarkation point for travel on the Santa Fe Oregon and California trails. Remember Kansas City Missouri is far older than the state of Kansas as Kansas City (and it's precursor) the town of Kansas was named after a native American tribe and not after a state which at that time did not exist.
The settlers that built this country were a different breed from our new population, who've come because we have a nice place and NGOs fly them in to immediately go on benefits. The settlers built a place that was like those they left. Safe, orderly, pleasant. The new colonizers will terraform the country to a place like they left as well. Wont that be exciting 😒
This book is well written, and the reader is excellent, but the story and the protagonist are sort of awful. The very often needless slaughter of buffalo just for the "sport" of it was dreadful and led to their near extinction. The fact that the protagonist continues to ride a horse he knows is ill and push her to extremes is dreadful. A good horseman of any era would not behave this way. Surely, he could've gotten another mount from the Native Americans who were kind enough to host him and care for him. The story is an interesting look at the times, but it is hard to empathize with the main character.

I absolutely loved it!
Beautifully written historical novel folks.. Made the lives of the pioneers come alive.

I agree
The story is as follows. Man rides on horse to a location. Kills many buffalo in between. End of story
I don't understand why so many have complained about the reader or the book - both are wonderful!

Festina might have some anger issues.

The reader suits this book 100%
Should have learned how to pronounce “Oregon,” though. Rhymes with “wagon.”
Seems to me the reader would drink something so I would not constantly be hearing his lips smack and pop. I Despise that sound. 100% my ass . . .

the lore for the oregon trail game!
I thought the book was inspired by the game!

Man they were a diffrent breed of men an women back then. How many people would be able to do that now?! Much respect!
Enjoyed this story!
I wonder how those people complaining about the readers voice would've done on the trail....
Lol... Having grown up in Oregon, the mis-pronounciation of Oregon is more than I can take
LMAO you're wyld bro
Cry more Kath 😭
thanks and good job
People were so tough in those days. They were physically strong from so much manual work.
Good book nicely read.
Amen.
The narrator sounds like one of the uncles Randal Duke in Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd.
Funny movie too!
Funny. We are commodities brokers.
Love the reader!!
Love his voice
I have never read this book I hope it’s good😁
Thank you

Hello from Kansaa USA
One would think that someone narrating a book on the Oregon trail would know how to pronounce the word Oregon.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Only people that live in Organ know
I hoped he was using an 1840 pronunciation. If not, someone should have stopped him. Here in California we know better than to say it as the reader did. Where the heck in the US could he be and not know how it's said now?🙃🙃
Oregon not organ

Great if Australians can pronounce it any ol way
It's in India right? So who cares.
I gave it unbelievable 2 hrs but it fell short of grabbing me, sorry to say.
