Westward Migration Book

Currently watching the show 1883 and finding it very interesting what the people who migrated west went through. What are some recommended books out there on this topic that really delve deep into what the people who migrated west went through in their travels?

Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, about the Lewis & Clark expedition after the Louisiana Purchase, is a good one. It's not about the mass migrations to the west, but it's the start of the story of American westward expansion.

I recently read Undaunted Courage and really enjoyed it. Building off of that I ordered Astoria: John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire, but it hasn’t come in yet so I can’t comment.

The age of gold by HW brands
It does talk about the gold rush ( which is what I thought the entire book would be about ) but the majority is how people from all over struggled to actually get to California by wagon or by ships

Klondike by Pierre Breton is another good gold rush book focusing on Alaska.
And the Grapes of Wrath.

I did the audiobook back during the fall on my walks after work, kept me entertained .
And like I posted, at least you won’t be hoodwinked like I was when I thought it would only be about the gold rush , you get so much of the history and founding of California
Happy reading, hope you enjoy it !
