About the Author:
Emerson Hough (1857-1923) wrote for such popular magazines such as Forest and Stream and the Saturday Evening Post. An 1894 article that he wrote led Congress to take action to preserve the dwindling bison herd at Yellowstone National Park. His first book on the West, The Story of the Cowboy (1897) won him the admiration and friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and Andy Adams. Hough went on to publish several best-selling novels over the course of his career, including The Mississippi Bubble (1902) and 54-40 or Fight (1909).
From the Back Cover:
THE COVERED WAGON is one of the classic sagas of the American West, set in the days of the settlement of the far frontier in the Northwest. Gatherings of families join together in the spring west of the Mississippi to form long wagon trains heading across the Great Plains and over the Continental Divide to Oregon and a new life. They are beset by the hardships of nature, fear, starvation, and hostile Indians, and they suffer much, but their eventual success is one of the triumphs of our national history.
