Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the West to the West: Across the Plains to Oregon The events of pioneer life, which form the groundwork of this story, are woven into a composite whole by memory and imagination. But they are not personal, nor do they present the reader, except in a fragmentary and romantic sense, with the actual, individual lives of borderers I have known. The story, nevertheless, is true to life and border history; and, no matter what may be the fate of the book, the facts it delineates will never die.

Book Synopsis So Rugged and Mountainous by : Will Bagley
Download or read book So Rugged and Mountainous written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of America’s westward migration is a powerful blend of fact and fable. Over the course of three decades, almost a million eager fortune-hunters, pioneers, and visionaries transformed the face of a continent—and displaced its previous inhabitants. The people who made the long and perilous journey over the Oregon and California trails drove this swift and astonishing change. In this magisterial volume, Will Bagley tells why and how this massive emigration began. While many previous authors have told parts of this story, Bagley has recast it in its entirety for modern readers. Drawing on research he conducted for the National Park Service’s Long Distance Trails Office, he has woven a wealth of primary sources—personal letters and journals, government documents, newspaper reports, and folk accounts—into a compelling narrative that reinterprets the first years of overland migration. Illustrated with photographs and historical maps, So Rugged and Mountainous is the first of a projected four-volume history, Overland West: The Story of the Oregon and California Trails. This sweeping series describes how the “Road across the Plains” transformed the American West and became an enduring part of its legacy. And by showing that overland emigration would not have been possible without the cooperation of Native peoples and tribes, it places American Indians at the center of trail history, not on its margins.

Book Synopsis The Oregon Trail by : Charles River Editors
Download or read book The Oregon Trail written by Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-17 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures. *Includes accounts of people who traveled on the Oregon Trail. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. "My greatest pleasure in travelling through the country is derived from the knowledge that it has seldom been traversed, or at least never been described by any hackneyed tourist, that everything I see or look upon has been seen by me before it has become common by the vulgar gaze or description of others.” – Dr. James Middleton The westward movement of Americans in the 19th century was one of the largest and most consequential migrations in history, and among the paths that blazed west, the most well-known is the Oregon Trail, which was not a single trail but a network of paths that began at one of four “jumping off” points. The eastern section of the Oregon Trail, which followed the Missouri River through Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, was shared by people traveling along the California, Bozeman, and Mormon Trails. These trails branched off at various points, and the California Trail diverged from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in southern Idaho. From there, the Oregon Trail moved northward, along the Snake River, then through the Blue Mountains to Fort Walla Walla. From there, travelers would cross the prairie before reaching the Methodist mission at The Dalles, which roughly marked the end of the Trail. The Trail stretched roughly half the country, and hundreds of thousands of settlers would use it, yet the Oregon Trail is famous not so much for its physical dimensions but for what it represented. As many who used the Oregon Trail described in memoirs, the West represented opportunities for adventure, independence, and fortune, and fittingly, the ever popular game named after the Oregon Trail captures that mentality and spirit by requiring players to safely move a party west to the end of the trail. Perhaps most famously, the game that helped popularize current generations' interest in the Oregon Trail highlighted the obstacles the pioneers faced in moving West. Indeed, as all too many settlers discovered, traveling along the Trail was fraught with various kinds of obstacles and danger, including bitter weather, potentially deadly illnesses, and hostile Native Americans, not to mention an unforgiving landscape that famous American explorer Stephen Long deemed “unfit for human habitation.” And while many would look back romantically at the Oregon Trail over time, 19th century Americans were all too happy and eager for the transcontinental railroad to help speed their passage west and render overland paths like the Oregon Trail obsolete. The Oregon Trail: America's Most Famous Path to the Western Frontier comprehensively covers the history of the Trail and the settlers who moved west along it, including descriptions of the Trail in accounts written by settlers. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Oregon Trail like you never have before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes of Earlier Days in Crossing the Plains to Oregon: And Experiences of Western Life Those who did not cross the plains, either to Oregon or California, in an early day have but little knowledge of the hardships endured by the way, or after their arrival at their future homes. I have frequently conversed with those who went to Oregon from 1843 to 1845 and '46 and after their arrival had to live on acorns for six weeks without meat. There were no cattle at the time in the country fit for beef, and game was very scarce, and even if it had been plenty hunting it on an acorn breakfast would have been very hard work Even after our arrival in Oregon at a later date, 1851, provisions were very scarce. The winter of 1852-53 for more than a month there was no flour to be had and no meat and we paid $8.50 for fifty pounds of very poor shorts and glad to get it at that price. In the spring a cargo of Chile flour came in and when we bought it we had to sieve out the long woolly worms and eat it or starve. In talking with friends about the scenes of earlier days and experiences of western life I have been frequently asked why do you not write them out and have them published in book form. My reply has been it always looked egotistical for a man to publish his own autobiography The reply was this is not your autobiography, but actual history that helps to tell about the settlement of the great west, a subject in which old and young are, or should be, deeply interested.

Download or read book Oregon Trail West written by Artie Sparks and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eastern part of America filled up with people from the Atlantic Coast clear to the Mississippi River in only three-hundred years of ships arriving there mostly from Europe. That kind of growth rate was expected to continue to occur with western expansion to the Great Plains and beyond there by the Washington policy makers entering the nineteenth century.They thought that it would take at least that long before the area between the Mississippi River and the Pacific coast became completely populated. The process was expedited by free land and technology advancement and gold rushes. The southwest bound immigrants did have those advantages.The government's plans were flawed from the start. They misjudged the rate that settlers were moving west. Their failures were more than not adjusting to those changes in the growth rate of the population. Another major failures entailed their ability to provide peace between Americans citizens and Native Americans.The government's plans for western expansion always involved the use of army at handling all of the tedious details. The government was of course wrong with all aspects of it. The settlers had great difficulty surviving the Great plains, the three major trails and numerous other trails west. The plains and major trails to the west were patrolled by too few trained soldiers. There were not enough troops to manage anything properly in the move west.The influx of American immigrants or settlers or pioneers began at a slow pace. The big move west from the east and places in between resulted as nation acquired more and more and final reached the Pacific Ocean. The major move west started just prior to the mid nineteenth century and was over before the end of that century.There will never be anything like that western expansion ever again. The era was the greatest movement of humanity that our nation ever saw and much it look place on three major trails that were quite rough. The Santa Fe Trail provided a military supply route during the war with Mexico. Also many of the settler's journeys were on the trail. Dodge City, the wild west town and cattle rail-head, was to the east of the middle of the trail in later years. This trail fed into other ones, such as the Old Spanish Trail, once the wagon trains passed Santa Fe.The Oregon Trail connecting with the California Trail became a heavily travel route to the gold field area by less than civilized unruly gold seeking prospectors for about a five year period that partly after the middle of the nineteenth century. They were deadly serious people that killed many Native Americans to move them out of their way. Still some failed prospectors did quit mining there until they were penniless beggars.The Oregon Trail also brought farmers, cattlemen, cowboys, business people and educators west over the most of the second half of the century. Many immigrants came from the world by steamship to San Francisco. The settlers from the east were part of wagon trains. They took the main trail from Independence west they often off on anyone of a many routes that were kind the network of trails of the Oregon Trail. Then the expansion west ended prior to the twentieth century.All of these trail to the west provided great difficulties that the settlers needed to survive illness, attacks from outlaws and angry Native Americans before they could pursue their dreams of a better life in the west.
