Saving Americana – Hunting the Trails
Season 25
Episode 16
Starting in the 1840s, America quite literally picked up and moved west. Hundreds of thousands of people hit the road, creating a long line of wagon trains that made up the Great Western Migration. Nearly two centuries later, a group of history buffs turned detectives are hunting for their old trails. This is the story of retracing the paths and wagon ruts that tell the story of the journey.
