Women were slaves it seems. The older she got the harder the work she had to do.
Every audiobook I listen to the comment section is full of people complaining about the narrator. Here’s an idea. Buy the book and read it yourself. Just a thought? lol
I don't think they know how to read
I love narrations of books like this! They put me to sleep right away! This one lasted 4 nights. Thank you!
This story is wonderful and amazing. I listened while very sick in bed and it took my mind off my troubles better than anything else. Every American should learn from this historical book.
i pray you're back on your feet!!
Ditto on that!😊
I don't understand why so many have complained about the reader or the book - both are wonderful!
😊😊😊 😊😊
I don't understand why so many complain over something free. Personally, I just sped it to 1.25 speed and think it sounds just fine. To each their own, I guess...
I love this
This is full of interest, thoughtful, observant and the reader is perfect. Thank you .
People are idiots
This is the epitome of transcendent sagas...this man's empathetic and expressive voice carries us to a place and time faraway and long ago...wonderful. So much to think about and learn about this lost world in our own time. Thank you.
Ditto on that!😊
What a fantastic experience it was listening to this book!
I absolutely loved it!
Beautifully written historical novel folks.. Made the lives of the pioneers come alive.
History class would have been so much more endearing if presented this way.
I agree
The story is as follows. Man rides on horse to a location. Kills many buffalo in between. End of story
The reader suits this book 100%
Should have learned how to pronounce “Oregon,” though. Rhymes with “wagon.”
Seems to me the reader would drink something so I would not constantly be hearing his lips smack and pop. I Despise that sound. 100% my ass . . .
I love this reading. I use it to get to sleep and return to sleep if awakened. No excessive dramatization, no sharpy harpys reminding me of my bitchy nuns reading religious programming during primary school.
Pretty sure th8s is narrated by the great Ed Asner. He is the voice of the Grandfather from UP.... he is pretty old here, so if you have complaints about the way he sounds go read the damn book yourself
b
The reader is doing a good job. Good book so far.
Outstanding narrator!!
Excellent story and reading. Thank you!
This book isn't a "politically correct" novel. It is an historical novel, and reflects the culture and common attitudes of a different time. Understanding such differences could be an advantage to many to understand as well current differences between people.
It is a good book, let yourself enjoy it.
Political correctness isn't even politically correct. It's the same shit, different day merely with the social controls switched around like a game of musical chairs and serving only the same type of political profiteers and opportunistic predators as it always has. I would say I hope one day people stop allowing themselves to be led around by their noses, but I've lived long enough now to know that is never going to happen. Our technology may progress to god-tier, but humans will forever be imprisoned by their medieval minds.
@Festina_Lente Wow, you sound like a barrel of laughs!
Festina might have some anger issues.
@Festina_Lente I appreciated the information.
First it is not a novel, novels are the result of imagination, this is non-fiction, it is a travelogue. Like Costner's character in "Dances with wolves" Parkman had obviously great interest and empathy with the native Americans, he accepted their hospitality and respected their way of life. He was obviously impressed with some of their skills.
This is a good book. I had to hear it again..........................
Awesome! Kudos to the narrator!
They should be great full for a classic book. Is totally free for one and all to enjoy. Personally played this audio many time s all way hear something I ve missed . Pressing play now 5:43
I’ve read this book twice. It’s a good one if you enjoy western frontier history.
Amazing
I liked this a lot, but the genre is new to me. What are some other good ones?
@@nannerlchanel5045 Thank you!
If you don't want to die of dysentery, this is the way to experience the Oregon Trail.
I was looking for this comment
I rate this audiobook 100
Gotta love how it gets right to chapter 1... dam right!
I know you right brotha
Hell ya!
And then straight to chapter 2, like a boss!
Go on now !
Very interesting story we need more of this...
A absolutely Fantastic Audio one of my favorites yet ,
Very good book, Thank you...............
Very well done. Thank You
Excellent 👏👏👏
The Oregon Trail in the 1840s was magical
well done. thank you.
visited my wife's home state of Wyoming last summer and visited the area around Chugwater Wy. were you can still see the wagon ruts of the Oregon Trail. My goodness the weather those poor folk must have endured....not to mention the natives that didnt appreciate visitors ...
would you mind others coming to invade your land like they owned it?
One of my very first computer games in the mid to late 90's, was the 'Organ Trail.' You had to prepare choosing staples/food , dry goods, that would not perish, choose your passengers, equipment that your wagon would need in the 'wagon train.' It was so enthralling until I kept messing up and getting the whole train wrecked...so I stopped playing...didn't want to lose any more lives!
Thanks a lot for sharing.
16:47 chapter 02
The book is a first-person account of a 2-month summer tour in 1846 of the U.S. states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas. Parkman was 23 at the time. The heart of the book covers the three weeks Parkman spent hunting buffalo with a band of Oglala Sioux. He brilliantly describes what he saw and experienced. Native Americans hunted Bison (Buffalo) for thousands of years without decimating the population - it was the white man who drove the species to near extinction.
Definitely longer than a 2 month excursion!! The Plains Indians didn't hunt that way for thousands of years, the Sioux had horses for less than a hundred years at that time!!! It wasn't the same hunting buffalo on foot or using a buffalo ju.mp!!! It helps to have some knowledge of Native American History!! Parkman Jr. Wrote an amazing first hand experience of a dying culture at the hands of European Settlers!! Great Story of the Oregan Trail!!!!
Love the reader!!
thanks and good job
People that dislike read a book this long then u will understand what they had to do. would u like if someone disliked you if u read a massive book like this one
Beautiful job
Was iz dis book you speak of? Boooke?
Enjoyed this story!
I have read the whole book. Parkman has done a remarkable job of recording the old west. For America today known primarily by its bustling metropolises, we now know that it once was a land of the wilderness, the Delawares and the Shawnees and was forged through incessant progress by intrepid pioneers.
Nobby Barnes yes, progress is civilization, which comes with things like roads, buildings, parking lots, planes, trains, automobiles, power plants to charge the device that you’re complaining on, etc.
@@patrickking9600 Not all inventions are good for nature. Many Americans have complained about the way certain pioneers ruined the earth, and caused erosion for centuries. How the trains killed thousands of animals. But, I guess, there will always be people like you, who just shrug their shoulders and call it progress. Capitalism, and greed is more correct.
@Nobby Barnes Everywhere Europeans showed up, beautiful countries turned into shithole countries. It's time the young generation admits that, because we have books written by the good Europeans, complaining about that for centuries. It's a fight between the good, and the evil for the sake of our planet.
@@TheSybil47 your comments reveal your ignorance
@@pelonconstante6271 Thank you.
the lore for the oregon trail game!
I thought the book was inspired by the game!
I see some complaining of the reader...you can speed or slow down videos with the 3 dots on to right of screen when touched a menu comes down and I sometimes can adjust the speed to sue my preferences this one I speed up to 1.25 faster and liked it but also the original I like
Pretty decent. Better written and better read than most Libravox works.
Ha, ha, ha..."a superannuated old man." Don't get that much anymore.
After reading your critique of the writing, one can only assume you must be an indescribable writer!
The narrator sounds like one of the uncles Randal Duke in Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd.
Funny movie too!
Funny. We are commodities brokers.
Good book nicely read.
Amen.
Man they were a diffrent breed of men an women back then. How many people would be able to do that now?! Much respect!
Thank you
People were so tough in those days. They were physically strong from so much manual work.
I have never read this book I hope it’s good😁
Wolfish dogs that did not bark. Now that sounds freakin awesome. Where these dogs at?
I wonder how those people complaining about the readers voice would've done on the trail....
Lol... Having grown up in Oregon, the mis-pronounciation of Oregon is more than I can take
LMAO you're wyld bro
Cry more Kath 😭
Ok all you Oregonians who keep having kittens over pronunciation. How was it pronounced during the period it covers?
Bunch of snowflakes live out there now
Your party has died of dysentery
I loved that game 😄
I gave it unbelievable 2 hrs but it fell short of grabbing me, sorry to say.
The narrator is good. The book is missing an arc of suspense.😮
I really wanted to listen to this, but it sounds like it was recorded inside the guys shirt.
Please learn how to pronounce "Ore-gun"...Thanks in advance!
Please subtitles for the deaf people
Dark screen
This book is highly inaccurate in it's first chapter. The author doesn't seem to know where he is or what the facts are of how the trail was conducted. The trail did not start in St Louis; it started in Independence and Kansas City Missouri. Settlers took steamships to Independence or Westport landing in Kansas City Missouri. By the time this book was supposedly witnessed and authored in 1846 the trail started in Kansas City Missouri at a place called Westport landing. Settlers traveled from what is now downtown Kansas City Missouri to the settlement called Westport to be outfitted for the trails West. Westport was near the border of the Great American desert and the territory of Kansas and was thus The logical jumping off point. Kansas City Missouri and it's Westport landing was the farthest west one could travel by steamship before turning North at downtown Kansas City Missouri. Logically, settlers wanted to go west and not North and this is precisely why Westport landing became the prominent embarkation point for travel on the Santa Fe Oregon and California trails.
Remember Kansas City Missouri is far older than the state of Kansas as Kansas City (and it's precursor) the town of Kansas was named after a native American tribe and not after a state which at that time did not exist.
Lol ok
Narrater’s teeth whistle. Cannot abide it.
Hello from Kansaa USA
One would think that someone narrating a book on the Oregon trail would know how to pronounce the word Oregon.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Only people that live in Organ know
I hoped he was using an 1840 pronunciation. If not, someone should have stopped him. Here in California we know better than to say it as the reader did. Where the heck in the US could he be and not know how it's said now?🙃🙃
Oregon not organ
12:35:43
Even back then some thought the American Indians were the a lost tribe. Interesting.
1:18:24
it's orygun not oragone
Its a dialect thing
I say organ and live in Washington
Great if Australians can pronounce it any ol way
It's in India right? So who cares.
His microphone placement makes him sound like he has a plugged nose. Passing on this one.
Your comment made laugh so hard that I'm having trouble taking this seriously. 😂😂😂
Granny Gutz same here, lol
Buy new speakers
You have died of prissiness 🪦
I don't like his slaughter of buffalo for no reason,different times&experiences I suppose
boofalow
This book is well written, and the reader is excellent, but the story and the protagonist are sort of awful. The very often needless slaughter of buffalo just for the "sport" of it was dreadful and led to their near extinction. The fact that the protagonist continues to ride a horse he knows is ill and push her to extremes is dreadful. A good horseman of any era would not behave this way. Surely, he could've gotten another mount from the Native Americans who were kind enough to host him and care for him. The story is an interesting look at the times, but it is hard to empathize with the main character.
3:07 just recording where I stopped at
Jealous guy learns to make buffalo robe.
What year is this written about?
1846
I hope by this time ]the reader has learned to pronounce Oregon. Hint: It's not ore-a-gone.
It's OAR-ee-gun. Thank you.
We all know, get over yourself.
How was it pronounced in the time period the book covers?
Would you like a hammer or a gun?

Well read bit of history and how they traveled ... but I must say that now I understand why the buffalo are endangered now how many were hunted and killed for fun or accidently maimed or killed during the hunt. But thats the way of mankind isn't it.
Wish you would pronounce my home correctly.
How was it pronounced in the mid 19th century?
Just wish he knew how to pronounce Oregon. It’s not OreGONE, we pronounce it OreGUN.
Good for you Karen lol
