[Libs-Or] Stumper -- older novel about life at the end of the Oregon Trail?

[Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney]

I think that's it! It's owned by Tillamook and Newport, and she said she thought she'd had to place a hold on it to get it. I've asked her for confirmation, but I think you've nailed it!

Hi Kirsten,

Might it be: The cabin at the trail's end : a story of Oregon / by Sheba Hargreaves.  New York : Harper & Bros., 1928. "The Cabin at the Trail's End tells such a drama in the lives of the Bainbraidge family of Oregon City in 1843, recording with wit and frontier wisdom the heartache and joy, the betrayal and triumph that charts their daily lives."

This book is in one of our special collections, so it does not circulate.  But if it is the book, perhaps another library owns it.

Regards,
Carol

Hi all,

I have a stumper from a patron. She's looking for a book that she read some years ago. It was a novel about settlers trying to set up their lives at the end of the Oregon trail. She thought it was titled something like "The End of the Trail," and believes it's fairly  old -- published in the 1940s, possibly. She says it had a notation on it that it was required reading for Oregon high school students. She thinks she originally got it from Driftwood, but we have nothing that matches the description.

It's not Melody Carlson's A Home At Trail's End, and it's not Oregon: The End of the Trail compiled by the WPA.

Any ideas?
