The Covered Wagon is a classic Western novel written by Emerson Hough. It tells the story of a group of pioneers who set out on a perilous journey from Missouri to Oregon in the mid-1800s.

Along the way, the group encounters a diverse cast of characters, including cowboys, soldiers, and settlers, each with their own motivations and secrets. The Covered Wagon is a thrilling tale of courage, endurance, and survival in the American West, and is considered a classic of Western literature.1922. Illustrated with scenes from the Photoplay a Paramount picture. Hough's literary career grew out of his taking camping trips and writing about them for publication. His body of work eventually included 27 novels and hundreds of short stories and articles. Hough's early works included The Singing Mouse Stories, for children, and the nonfiction The Story of the Cowboy. He had his first major success in 1902 with his novel The Mississippi Bubble, which became a bestseller. The book begins: Look at �������em come, Jesse! More and More! Must be forty or fifty families. Molly Wingate, middle-aged, portly, dark browed and strong, stood at the door of the rude tent which for the time made her home. She was pointing down the road which lay like an ecru ribbon thrown down across the prairie grass, bordered beyond by the timber-grown bluffs of the Missouri.
