This kinda reminded me of Bill Bryson's earlier travel books, but not quite as funny? But it's a good mix of historical information and entertaining travel anecdotes. There's like maybe more than I really wanted to know about wagon design?? But exactly as much as I wanted to know about mules, such as that Washington and Lafayette introduced them to America.
Also, this is definitely related to the age difference between Rinker Buck and myself, but I was disappointed that there was NO MENTION AT ALL of the Oregon Trail computer game!! C'MON
