也推荐 Francis Parkman 的《Oregon Trail》，那样一种冒险人生，又配上写出绝妙散文的能力。比任何视频素材都更能记录那个时代。
Also recommend Francis Parkman's, "Oregon Trail", such a life of adventure combined with the ability to turn out sublime prose. A better record of the time than any video footage could ever have achieved.
……（字面意思是“出口”）在科罗拉多州萨利达以东，阿肯色河在那里从落基山脉中开出一个出口（西班牙语里“salida”就是出口）。这就是 Francis Parkman 走过、并在他的《The Oregon Trail》一书里描写的那条路线……他其实从没真正靠近过俄勒冈。鸦片可能有点关系。最南边的路线则要翻越盆地与山脉地貌区的群山。
…(literally "the junction") is east of Salida Colorado where the Arkansas River provides an exit ("salida" in Spanish) from the Rocky Mountains. It's the route Francis Parkman used and describes in his book The Oregon Trail...he never got very close to Oregon. The opium might have had something to do with that. The southernmost route traverses the mountains of the Basin and Range physiographic region.
