After a trip into the Wyoming Territory and exploring the California and Oregon Trail in 1846, Parkman began writing serial installments of The Oregon Trail (published in Knickerbocker Magazine, Feb. 1847-Feb. 1849), one of his most famous works. Parkman would continue to write many volumes of history, mostly about American Indians, the West, the French in America, and the growth of the United States. During most of Parkman's life, he suffered from weak eyes, blinding headaches, and a number of other maladies, but he was always determined to push himself physically to challenge his maladies.
