Oregon Trail > The Oregon Trail was the major route for immigrants traveling from the > settlements on the edge of the eastern United States to the promised land > of Oregon. It extended 2170 miles from its eastern departure points of St. > Joseph, Westport, and Independence, Missouri, to its final destination in > the Willamette Valley of present day Oregon. Much of its eastern segment > followed the valleys of the Platte and North Platte Rivers. > Some immigrants were bound for California instead of Oregon. They turned > Southward from the Oregon Trail in what is now eastern Idaho and followed > the California Trail through the Great Basin and across the Sierra Nevada > into California. > More than 350,000 people made the trek westward between 1841 and 1867. > Their numbers swelled from a trickle in 1841 to almost 50,000 in 1852. > They endured rugged country, searing heat, violent prairie storms, > accidents, and the ravages of cholera. Their reward was the fertile > farming country, the rich forests, and the mild climate of the fabled > Oregon country. > After gold was discovered in California in 1848, gold-seekers joined the > westward bound pioneers. They left the Oregon Trail and followed the > California Trail on to the gold fields. After 1847, Mormon pioneers also > joined the throng, headed not for Oregon or California, but for their > settlement near the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Mormon Trail <mormon.htm> > began at Omaha or Council Bluffs, and followed the North side of the > Platte and North Platte Rivers until it passed Fort Laramie.

It was a resupply point where > they could pause to replenish their supplies, repair their wagons, and > perhaps even trade for fresh draft animals with which to continue their > journey.
