You have sold everything you own to buy this wagon, but it lacks any form of suspension meaning that you will feel every jarring bump as it travels painfully slowly at around two miles (three kilometers) per hour. On a good day, you may cover perhaps 20 miles (30 kilometers). But the journey you are undertaking will cover more than 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers), not on roads, but through uncharted, inhospitable, and often hostile wilderness and in variable weather. Completing this journey will take six months or more, and around one in every ten people who set out will die on the way due to disease, injury, starvation, or deliberate attack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFew people today would even consider such a trek, yet this mammoth journey was undertaken by hundreds of thousands of ordinary people during the mid-nineteenth century as they traveled from the Eastern United States to new territory on the Pacific Coast. The route they followed became known as the Oregon Trail, stretching west from Missouri until it finally led through the mountains toward Utah, Oregon, and California. In just 20 years, from 1840 to 1860, an astounding 400,000 people faced the danger and uncertainty of an epic migration on the Oregon Trail. They did this to follow a dream of forging a new life in the West, facing hardship and risk at every mile. This is their amazing story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover a plethora of topics such as\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigins: The Peoria Party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Migration: 1843\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife and Death on the Oregon Trail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMormons on the Oregon Trail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecline of the Trail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want a concise and informative book on the Oregon Trail, simply scroll up and click the \"Buy now\" button!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hourly History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798290121185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Hourly History","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474477334783,"sku":"9798290121185","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b68f1ae-a015-4353-87e6-9b34198815be.jpg?v=1762316998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-oregon-trail-hourly-history-9798290121185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
