The Emigrant's Guide: to Oregon and California in 1845
Lansford W. Hastings
A combination of observation and propaganda, Hastings' guide was invaluable for pioneers travelling to Oregon or California in the 1840's and afterwards. It describes geography, climate, and economic possibilities and lists equipment and resources necessary for the journey west. It places the modern reader in the mind of the pioneer, with all of the pioneer's attitudes, ideals and prejudices of the time.
