half a million people went west during 1841-1869. Some people came by boats and some by trains. People who walked only thought it would take 55 days with a 100 day of food and water supply but it took 165 days, many people died of starvation and diseases. Young people died from 19 years of age. The groups of people were called Pioneers , they travelled in search of a new life. Hope this helps you x
