[pct-l] History

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

You might take a look at Irving Stone's, "Men to Match my Mountains".
This is more of a general history of exploration, but includes information
on John C. Fremont's various expeditions, which include a trip along a
route which is generically similar to the PCT through northern CA and into 
Oregon.  Bernard DeVoto's, "1846: Year of Decision" is has similar
information on it.  Both of these are very well written western americana 
histories, but perhaps more broad than you want.
