Hi everyone,

I was just remembering today that one of my favorite books when I was younger was set during the Oregon Trail and that I found the time period and setting very interesting.  Does anyone have any novels set during the Oregon trail to recommend? 

Thanks!

I don't you might try the "Western Form"  Someone there might.

Have you tried doing the tagmash at Librarything? There appear to be lots of novels written during this time period.

To do a tagmash, follow the search tab from any LT page. Then look for the tag search box. Separate keywords that you want to combine with a comma.

I found this booklist you might find helpful: http://www.overbooked.org/booklists/subjects/history/oregontrail.html

Thanks, everyone!  The tagmash and the link provided by Katy were a big help.

There's one called Amanda, but it's juvenile lit.

This is one I have wishlisted -

Ralph Compton wrote one titled "The Oregon Trail", but I haven't read it.

Take a look at Western Passage by TJ Hansen. I loved it to bits, but it's mostly from a woman's POV.
