Study Guide Note: This study guide was originally designed as a companion for the 2-hour historical video documentary "The Oregon Trail." You may print and duplicate this study guide for classroom use. Background on the Oregon Trail About the video Brief outline of each video Vocabulary words ... Further reading Background The Oregon Trail was much more than a pathway to the state of Oregon; it was the only practical corridor to the entire western United States. The places we now know as Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho and Utah would probably not be a part of the United States today were it not for the Oregon Trail. That's because the Trail was the only feasible way for settlers to get across the mountains. Without the Trail, most of the American West would likely be a part of Canada or Mexico today. The journey west on the Oregon Trail was exceptionally difficult by today's standards. One in 10 died along the way; many walked the entire two-thousand miles barefoot. The common misperception is that Native Americans were the emigrant's biggest problem en route. Quite the contrary, most native tribes were quite helpful to the emigrants. The real enemies of the pioneers were cholera, poor sanitation and, surprisingly, accidental gunshots.

One, a wagon wheel rim, spans a lonesome grave. The other soars in a gleaming arch that enframes the skyline of St. Louis, Missouri. From the top of the arch, some 630 feet above the Mississippi River, the rolling fields lie west; this is where the West begins.

38. The Frontier In American History: Chapter I Up to our own day american history has been in a large degree the history ch. iv; Parkman, oregon trail ; Hall, The West (Cincinnati, 1848); Pierce, http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/TURNER/chapter1.html

I THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FRONTIER IN AMERICAN HISTORY In a recent bulletin of the Superintendent of the Census for 1890 appear these significant words: "Up to and including 1880 the country had a frontier of settlement, but at present the unsettled area has been so broken into by isolated bodies of settlement that there can hardly be said to be a frontier line. In the discussion of its extent, its westward movement, etc., it can not, therefore, any longer have a place in the census reports." This brief official statement marks the closing of a great historic movement. Up to our own day American history has been in a large degree the history of the colonization of the Great West. The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward, explain American development. Behind institutions, behind constitutional forms and modifications, lie the vital forces that call these organs into life and shape them to meet changing conditions. The peculiarity of American institutions is, the fact that they have been compelled to adapt themselves to the changes of an expanding peopleto the changes involved in crossing a continent, in winning a wilderness, and in developing at each area of this progress out of the primitive economic and political conditions of the frontier into the complexity of city life. Said Calhoun in 1817, "We are great, and rapidlyI was about to say fearfullygrowing!"

AT THE END OF THE TRAIL; An Introduction to Clackamas History Skip introduction, go to Clackamas County Timeline ON THE OREGON TRAIL through the Blue Mountains just east of the Umatilla River: "While on the summit of the last mountain we got the first view of the Cascade Mountains west of us, while Mount Hood reared its snow crowned summit in awful grandeur."Abigail Jane Scott 1852 Mt. Hood is at the eastern boundary of Clackamas County. At this point on the Oregon Trail, pioneers may have felt they were nearing the end of their journey but the sight of Mt. Hood would tantalize for another two or three weeks. The Trail had been particularly hard since leaving Ft. Hall in Idaho. An 1851 traveler wrote, "It seems the nearer we approach Oregon the worse roads we have, and a worse more rough looking country." Peter Burnett, an Oregon booster, described this Trail segment in his diary, "...a poor sandy country. Not a tree in sight all day." Fresh hell lay ahead. To leave the "suffocating dust" of the Columbia plateau, the travelers had two choices: by the Columbia River or overland (after 1845) on the Barlow Road. They could choose the water route, extremely dangerous by raft or canoe and, (after 1850) horribly expensive by steamship.
