|  | Westward Vision by David Lavender
`In one very real sense, ` David Lavender writes, `the story of the Oregon Trail begins with Columbus.` This opening suggests the panoramic sweep of his history of that famous trail. In chiseled, colorful prose, Lavender illustrates the `westward vision` that impelled the early explorers of the American interior looking for a northwest passage and sent fur trappers into the region charted by Lewis and Clark.
