The Oregon Trail

A great adventure : why did people travel the Oregon Trail?

Claiming the West : who was the first European to set foot in Oregon?

Trail opens : what was known as the "brown gold" rush?

Hopes and dreams : who got to ride in a covered wagon?

The big truth! : the man who saved the trail : who traveled east on the Oregon Trail in both a wagon and an airplane?

Challenges along the way : what did pioneers worry about most?

End of the trail : how did the first coast-to-coast railroad affect the trail?

True statistics.
