Contained within the pages of this book are hundreds of short stories retelling the history and exciting day-to-day experiences of the early Oregon Pioneers. These stories were passed down to their family descendants and printed in the Sunday Oregonian newspapers in 1935-36.

This was the slogan hastily painted on the sides of many of the covered wagons; written to encourage the determined travelers who dreamt of getting to Oregon . . . or die trying. Thousands did both.
