Our Publications

As part of its mission to promote education about the westward emigrant trails, OCTA invests a lot of its energy and resources to produce a wide-ranging set of quality publications. The Overland Journal is our scholarly, quarterly journal. News From the Plains is our quarterly association newsletter. Both the Overland Journal and News From the Plains are sent free to all members as a benefit of membership.

 

News from the Plains

News From the Plains is edited by Candy Moulton and sent to members of OCTA quarterly as a benefit of membership. The newsletter contains news about members and the organization, convention reports, legislative action, genealogy, trail preservation and special activities along with some pieces of research, shorter than those which appear in the Overland Journal on the emigrants and the trails.
