Hi all The May Spotlight features Oregon's Historic Trails. http://www.endoftheoregontrail.org/oregontrails/index.html Oregon's history is deeply tied to its trails. The routes followed by American explorers stretched across the Oregon Country a full 50 years before the Oregon Trail migrations of the mid-1800s. In 1998, the Oregon Trails Coordinating Council issued a report inventorying sixteen historic trails recognized to exist within Oregon's borders. The story behind each of these trails, from the early Indian paths, to the later wagon roads, is explained. A relief map with the trail superimposed accompanies each explanation. Also included is a section which lists known interpretive resources along each trail and suggests driving directions which approximate the routes of the historic trails. What is perhaps the most valuable for further research is a detailed bibliography for each of the trails. This information is being hosted by the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center which can be accessed at: http://www.endoftheoregontrail.org/index.html Please visit the previous months' Spotlights at: http://www.over-land.com/spotlite.html Many thanks to those of you who continue to recommend a Spotlight!
