As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Oregon Trail, western entertainer and poet, Red Steagall, takes us on a fact-filled voyage across the 2,000 mile route of America's Great Migration-- from Independence, Missouri to Independence, Oregon. Told through historic photographs and modern reenactments, this is the story of those courageous pioneers who, in the 1840's, ventured into an uncharted wilderness, toward an uncertain future, in order to settle the West.
