In the
1840's and 1850's, thousands of people left their homes to move
west. They were looking for rich farm land to start a new life.
The Oregon Trail was a 2000 mile long string of rivers and natural
landmarks that could be followed from Missouri to Oregon. It was easy to

there were well-worn paths to follow. It tool nearly six months to make
the trip. Many pioneers walked the entire way because their wagons
were overloaded with supplies and there was no room for them.
