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.

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.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Oregon Trail Early settlers in Oregon often arrived aboard ship, a voyage starting on the east coast, rounding Cape Horn, and up the Pacific coast to the Columbia River. This trip often took a year to complete. Following in the footsteps of the fur trappers, a number of missionary families ventured into the Oregon Territory by overland routes in the 1830s for the purpose of ministering to the native tribes. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman established their mission in the Walla Walla Valley in 1836, an endeavor that eventually ended in tragedy. Early missionaries were important in providing information and assistance to later migrating families. The Oregon Trail was not a single path to the West, but a series of trails leading to the Columbia River and the Willamette Valley. The point of origination was in Missouri, frequently from Independence and sometimes from Westport and St. Joseph. The main trail pushed across present-day Kansas and Nebraska, following the North Platt River to Fort Laramie. It traversed the Rockies at South Pass and descended to the Snake River and Fort Hall and Fort Bridger, then to the Columbia River and Fort Walla Walla and Fort Vancouver. Some settlers remained along the Columbia, but more pushed on to the Willamette Valley. The trip extended more than 2,000 miles and often required six months to complete.

Applegate Trail "The Applegate Trail was an alternative to the arduous Oregon Trail. It diverted from the main trail at Fort Hall, Idaho and headed through Nevada, to California, and on to Oregon. But it actually was just as tough. The trail is named for the Applegate brothers, Charles, Lindsay, and Jesse, who came west along the Oregon Trail in 1843." You will find a good essay about this trail. - From Beth Gibson - http://members.aol.com/Gibson0817/applgate.htm
