The article presents information on the book "The Road to Oregon," by W.J. Ghent. The story of the conquest of the American Far West can at last be told. Two generations have grown up since the conquest ended. Those who took part in it are dead or very old. History has taken it for her own. From now on there will come an ever-growing volume of literature concerning it, in formal history, in biography, fiction, and poetry innumerable attempts will be made to recapture and recreate the epic story. "The Road to Oregon" is one volume in this flood. And it is significant that it is the first complete story of the trail.
