One More FREE Chance to get "The Astorians" As part of our new "second chance" promotion, we are offering another opportunity this weekend for you to get The Astorians. This eBook is FREE again this weekend! (For the last time for a while!) Following the return of the Corp of Discovery, fur trade tycoon John Jacob Astor sent two parties to the West to establish the first American settlement in the region. Everything that went right for Lewis & Clark, went wrong for the Astorians! DOUBLE FEATURES: Thanks to a great suggestion by one of our Member Supporters, from now on each FREE eBook offering will be for two sequential weekends, overlapping and offset with another FREE eBook. Like this: Weekend1 (Book-A and Book-B); Weekend2 (Book-B and Book-C); Weekend3 (Book-C and Book-D), etc. Sound good? This weekend's FREE eBook: The Oregon Trail Following the Lewis & Clark Expedition and the ventures of John Jacob Astor's party, thousands of families moved west. After the Panic of 1837, many American's lost everything and needed a place to start a new life. The Oregon Territory offered that opportunity. I did some updating and expanding of this book as well. So many stories to tell and many of them told directly from the diaries of the pioneers. Remember that you can read these on any smartphone, tablet, computer, or Amazon Kindle device using the free Kindle app. To get your free copy of the updated version, CLICK HERE New Audiobook!
