The Overland Trail
- A half a million men and women courageously traveled the trails into
a strange land--following the Indian's and trapper's footprints to gold
fields and new settlements into the western frontier. These pages will
try to describe one such trail--the Overland Trail, USA, --how and why
it began in 1862 under the direction of Ben Holladay, and how the
wagon wheels and hoof beats were abruptly silenced in 1869 with the completion
of the Transcontinental Railroad--closing an era that will be never
forgotten.
