The Oregon Trail is excellent in portraying the hardships that early Americans endured during the growth of this great nation. The Oregon Trail is one of the earliest educational software programs although it has changed considerably in looks it still gives the same type of lesson. It is not a game though that will hold the interest of kids wanting all the flair and graphics in real life 3-D style though. The visual graphics of this program are simple consisting of four windows of information. There is a small graphic of a wagon moving across the country and map tracing your progress, a screen with a journal and a scoreboard screen. The graphics are all very simple but for those wanting to play the game for learning it is good. The scope of the game requires the players to make decisions on how to guide their group from Independence Missouri to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. And travel is by covered wagon not Monster Trucks or Fancy Cars. The player must make decisions as to when to leave, what supplies to take with, how fast to travel what trails to take etc. The guide is also faced with dilemmas along the way such as injuries, floods, fires, bad water, no grass for grazing, food spoiling, running out of water etc. The hardships that actual settlers and explorers faced are seen in this game.

THE OREGON TRAIL Albert Bierstadt: EMIGRANTS CROSSING THE PLAINS The National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, OK The first Europeans to see the trans-Mississippi West were the mountain men, trappers, and the maritime explorers along the west coast. In Canada, the Hudson's Bay Company fur frontier was approaching the Columbia River basin. In 1812 John Jacob Astor established Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia in a countermove and sent Robert Stuart overland to carry dispatches east. Stuart found South Pass by following a Crow Indian Trail. Only 7,000 feet above sea level, with easy gradients. South Pass has an attractive geographic proximity to the upper reaches of the Platte River. Both were determining factors in the routing of the Oregon trail. The early frontiersmen found the passes, crossed the great rivers, and defined the vast reaches of the western interior. From the beginning these explorers contributed to a growing campaign to make the Oregon Country a part of either the United States or Great Britain according to their own sometimes confused loyalties. Economic depressions in 1837 and 1841 frustrated farmers and businessmen alike. The collapse of the international fur trade in 1839 intensified the hard times, and concerns of British domination of the Northwest grew. At the same time, eastern churches saw the American Indians of the Oregon Country as ready candidates for European ideas of civilization. Churches formed ardent missionary societies to create an active appetite for Christianity. In 1836 Marcus Whitman and his new wife, Narcissa, along with Henry and Eliza Spalding, headed for Oregon as missionaries. The letters they sent home publicized the opportunities and advantages of Oregon. Many people for many reasons had become interested in Oregon, but it was not until 1841 that the first group with serious intent to emigrate left the banks of the Missouri river and headed west. In 1843, nearly 1,000 completed the trip - an omen of the multitudes to follow.

The infamous "Lash Law," requiring that blacks in Oregon be they free or slave be whipped twice a year "until he or she shall quit the territory," is passed in June. It is soon deemed too harsh and its provisions for punishment are reduced to forced labor in December. Oregon's Provisional Government passes the first Exclusion Law in the Oregon Country following the Whitman Massacre in 1847. Federally-appointed Governor Joseph Lane arrives to proclaim that Oregon is now a Territory of the United States. The Oregon Donation Land Act becomes law, granting free land to "whites and half-breed Indians" in the Oregon Territory. Note that the language of the act prevents blacks from claiming land in Oregon.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History OREGON TRAIL The Oregon Trail was an overland route from the Missouri River to the Willamette Valley in Oregon, which was followed by thousands of migrants to the West in the 1840s and 1850s. The route had been used since early in the century by trappers and traders, but the first wagon train of settlers reached Oregon by way of the trail in 1842. The next year came the "great migration," during which about a thousand people and more than a thousand head of stock followed the trail west. Within two years the number of migrants had tripled, and over the next decade, more and more families seeking homes in Oregon made the trek. Francis Parkman's The Oregon Trail (1849) describes his trip along the eastern section of the trail. Most groups began the six-month trip in Independence, Missouri; from there the wagon trains traveled west along the Santa Fe Trail and then followed the Platte and North Platte rivers to South Pass, where they crossed the Rocky Mountains. A few days later they picked up the Snake River, which they followed to the point where they made a difficult climb through the Blue Mountains. From there the trail took them west to Fort Walla Walla and then down the Columbia River to their destination, the Willamette Valley, more than two thousand miles from where they had begun. In open country, the wagon trains would diverge widely, but at river fords and mountain passes, the trail would narrow to a single rutted path.

The two-thousand-mile journey took about six months for the average wagon train. Beginning in Independence, Missouri, settlers traveled northwest along the Platte and North Platte rivers to South Pass, where the journey through the Rocky Mountains led them to the Snake River. They left the Snake to cross the Blue Mountains and join the Columbia River to the Willamette Valley or Fort Vancouver.

Native Americans on the Oregon Trail Relationships The first section of the Oregon Trail bisected two major Native American tribesthe Cheyenne to the north and the Pawnee to the south. The emigrants worried about both. But the expected attacks did not come. In fact, there were many instances of Native American kindnesshelping pull out stuck wagons; rescuing drowning emigrants; even rounding up lost cattle Most of the encounters with Native Americans were simple business transactions. The emigrants offered clothes, tobacco or rifles, in exchange for Native American horses or food. Within a few years, the emigrants had overgrazed the prairie grasses, burned all the available firewood, and depleted the buffalo . Soon many tribes along the Platte were impoverished. The emigrants worried a great deal about possible Native American attacks, but very few were ever actually killed by the native tribes.

West to home: the Oregon trail pioneers In 1843 over one thousand pioneers began traveling the Oregon trail. A journey that would ultimately be known as the greatest migration in American history. Soon after the Revolutionary War, a movement was made to explore the Appalachians, west of the original colonies on the Eastern Coast of the United States. By eighteen forty-three, a new movement had begun; this one would later be known as the greatest migration in American history. Ending in places such as Oregon and Utah and even as far west as California, this journey began in Missouri and was traveled along what is known as The Oregon Trail. In eighteen forty-three more than one thousand people, seeking to find farmland in the West, gathered near the bend in the Missouri River in preparation for the trip to Oregon. Solid in their determination to find land and make homes, these pioneers were prepared for the very long and dangerous journey that would take them from their homes in the mid-west to the 'promised land' of the far west. bodyOffer(20935) The highway that would enable them to make such a journey began in Missouri, and ran across to the Platte River at Fort Kearney, Oregon, which was built to protect and outfit the settlers once having reached their destination. Once there, they could settle or push onward over the Continental Divide, a region in the Rocky Mountains that lays between streams running north to the Atlantic and south to the Pacific.

Oregon Trail The Oregon Trail, a 2,000-mile trek from Independence, MO to the Pacific Northwest, was the longest of the great overland routes used in America's westward expansion. The physical strength and endurance required to survive this six month journey by c overed wagon was a severe test. The Oregon Trail was a series of hops between rest stops at supply points along the way. The geographical hops were complicated by numerous obstacles. At times flooded rivers had to be crossed (by covered wagons) at fords where whirlpools formed. Indians attacked the wagon trains, often at inconvenient times, and in poorly defensible locations. Inclement weather and poor roads were hard on the wagons, and on those who had to repair them as well as those who had to ride in them. Food, water and wood were generally scarce at the best of times, and water holes along the way were frequently contaminated. Actual ruts left by the wagon trains can still be seen.
