A quirky travelogue, Buck and his brother made the wagon journey on a hard board seat over 2000 miles of bumps pulled by a mule team. The part about cholera on the Platte River was an interesting bit of local history. Especially liked his descriptions of the mules: purchasing, personalities, training, harnessing, catching, driving, feeding, caring for, etc.
