PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

The Real, the True, the Raw Story of the Oregon Trail:

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.
