The Covered Wagon tells the epic story of a wagon train on the Oregon Trail. First published in 1922, this historical novel offers something for everyone—action, intrigue, humor, and a classic love triangle. It is based on actual firsthand accounts of the grueling four-month overland journey, featuring cameos by famous frontiersmen Kit Carson and Jim Bridger. Both the novel and its film adaptation helped to make the wagon train an unforgettable icon of the Old West. ~ The book has firm binding and clean pages. There are no markings except an inscription in pencil from 1942 on the inside page. Because of the age I didn't erase it. The front cover has two spots as shown in the photos.
