![]() At once a majestic American journey, a significant work of history, and a personal saga reminiscent of bestsellers by Bill Bryson and Cheryl Strayed, the book tells the story of Buck's 2,000-mile expedition across the plains with tremendous humor and heart. With "The Oregon Trail "he seeks to bring the most important road in American history back to life. Today, amazingly, the trail is all but forgotten. The trail years also solidified the American character: our plucky determination in the face of adversity, our impetuous cycle of financial bubbles and busts, the fractious clash of ethnic populations competing for the same jobs and space. In the fifteen years before the Civil War, when 400,000 pioneers used it to emigrate West-historians still regard this as the largest land migration of all time-the trail united the coasts, doubled the size of the country, and laid the groundwork for the railroads. ![]() Spanning 2,000 miles and traversing six states from Missouri to the Pacific Ocean, the Oregon Trail is the route that made America. ![]() In the bestselling tradition of Bill Bryson and Tony Horwitz, Rinker Buck's "The Oregon Trail" is a major work of participatory history: an epic account of traveling the 2,000-mile length of the Oregon Trail the old-fashioned way, in a covered wagon with a team of mules-which hasn't been done in a century-that also tells the rich history of the trail, the people who made the migration, and its significance to the country. ![]() ![]() Early on in the narrative, the author is something like a younger Rodney Dangerfield, frustrated by a lack of respect. In his latest book, Tomine, who has been successful by nearly any measure-his oeuvre includes many minicomics and books and several New Yorker covers-delivers an understated yet illuminating graphic memoir full of insights on the creative process and the struggles of defining “success” in the world of comics and graphic novels. A lifelong obsession with comics results in less reward than the author and illustrator might once have thought possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cabinet of the title is conceived as a flying house, with the stories contained in various themed rooms, including travel, love, luck, song, fairy tales, tricks, cake, and flowers. The stories mostly feature children, some innocent and some decidedly not, some contemporary and some from those timeless, quasi-medieval villages that feature prominently in wonder tales. The four authors style themselves as curators, collectors of strange objects and the stories behind them, and hint at the dangers they have encountered to procure their tales from this and other realms. For readers who have gloried in and graduated from Alvin Schwartz’s collections of scary stories, the tales collected here will provide a deliciously tingly next step. ![]() ![]() ![]() Second printing, as designated by number line and corrected ISBN on copyright page (but with the uncorrected misprinting of "always" as "adways" still present on p. blue cloth boards, silver spine lettering.
