Pandababy has published many snippets and/or watered-down versions of the Oregon Trail Journey, as told in various books, newspapers and diaries. I do not look to shock modern sensibilities with what our ancestors endured. However, it is an excellent reality check to get at least for once, a true picture of what they endured. Now, you can read for yourself what "it was really like".
This book is free to download as a pdf, or read online (I recommend the pdf).
The Brazen Overlanders of 1845, by Donna M. Wojcik
This is the best adventure I can send to you tonight. I hope you will enjoy it.
