Summer has dawned in western Oregon and with it a dark creature has awakened. In the midst of the beautiful and magnificent terrain of the Oregon forest, it lies in wait for its next prey to stumble into its lair. It feeds on fear and its ruthlessness knows no bounds. Luckily for the beast, the hunt that awaits it will soon add more "chimes" to its collection. Meanwhile, a group of adventurous teenagers have planned out a thrilling escapade and intend on executing it to perfection before going off to college. During their journey as they trudge deeper and deeper into the forest, they discover they are not alone. Little do they know their getaway trip will soon become a fight for survival to escape a deadly stalker as they attempt to claw their way out of the infinite forest.

Published in 1845, this guidebook for pioneers is a reproduction of one of the most collectible books about California and the Western movement. It was the guidebook used by the Donner Party on their fateful journey. In addition, because Hastings' shortcut route through the Rockies produced such tragedy, the War Department commissioned The Prairie Traveler.

In November of 2000, after the presidential election but before the final results had been handed down by the Supreme Court, John Daniel climbed into his pickup, drove to a remote location in Oregon's Rogue River Canyon, and quit civilization. The strictures were severe with no two–way human communication — not even with his wife — and no radio, no music, not even his cat. He would isolate himself in a cabin sure to be snowed in soon after his arrival, intent on hearing no human voice but his own until spring thawed the road. This experiment in solitude was an attempt to clarify his identity while pursuing daily life without the distractions of the world at large. Daniel had spent a week or two alone before, but this would be an entirely new challenge, and as he drove off into the mountains he felt a fear–tinged freedom. Rogue River Journal chronicles his journey in solitude, a season of memory, and his search for a coherent place to stand on the earth.
