He will discuss seven major trails from the Midwest to the West Coast in this session. The principal routes include the Oregon and California Trails, the Mormon migration, the Santa Fe Trail and some of which most people are less familiar, organizers said.

The stories of these adventurous travelers are relevant to the character of Americans at that time in history, they said..

Morrison’s genealogical journey began in 1998 with the publication of a remembrance of his grandmother. Since then, he has authored many articles and books, and has shared his research with societies, history and genealogical conferences and symposiums.
