The Oregon Trail - ZaunköniG - 24.12.2008
The Oregon Trail
Page one of this historic western blaze
Tells where intrepid drivers met to scheme
A route to realize a golden dream -
Strong folks of rural occupation ways.
Another chapter, after many days,
Shows how their covered-wagons crossed a stream,
Each towed behind a swimming oxen team.
Advancing over dangers and delays.
Some stopped to bison hunt; some faltered back;
Some passed beyond on that more distant road.
The caravan through hardships ground the track,
Regardless of the savages, and showed
No fear of failure or a sign of slack,
Arriving where a wild abundance flowed.
