If someone got bitten by a venomous snake, another pioneer would take a knife and cut an "x" at the bite location. They would then suck out the blood and hopefully the poison. Sometimes this worked and sometimes this didn't. If it didn't work the victim would most likely die. If they happen to be lucky enough to survive, the body part that was bitten would normally have to be amputated. If they were bitten on their core, death was almost certain.

What was the result of the Oregon Trail?

Because of the Oregon Trail people were able to settle out west and lead the way for other settlers. Before the Oregon Trail no one lived out west and the only time it had been explored was on the Lewis and Clark expedition, and during that they stuck to the Columbia River and followed it to the Pacific and back, but had never wondered outside of that area. I am from Oregon and it is a big thing to us because I grew up on the Columbia River and use to swim in it during the summer. It allowed people opportunity to expand to the west.

People back then went on the Oregon trail to start new lives. They had a 2,000 mile journey to Oregon. They WALKED the whole way even though it was long and dangerous.
