Why did the Oregon and the Mormon trails overlapped?
Because the Mormons used the Oregon trail as far as it went in the direction they wanted to go. The Oregon trail was a well-established trail that had plenty of good drinking water all along the way. From Nebraska to Wyoming, the Oregon trail was the best route. The Mormon trail turns south in Wyoming and enters Utah, while the Oregon trail continues on to Oregon.

What trails did people use while moving west?
One of the first trails into the West connected New England with land that is now Kentucky and Tennessee. A part of that trail, the National Road, is now known as US 40. The Oregon and the Mormon trail both went from St. Louis, Missouri to Fort Bridger, Wyoming. That this point the two trails split. The Mormon trail continued southwest to the Great Salt Lake. The Oregon trail continued northeast and over the Blue mountains into Oregon. The Santa Fe trail went along the Missouri River and into Colorado, from there it traveled Southwest to what is now New Mexico.
What is some things Richard and America Bogle had to go through while on the Oregon trail?
Unfortunately, we do not know for sure. Everyone's experience on the Oregon Trail was different, and there exists no detailed description of the specific experiences of either Richard Bogle or America Waldo (Richard & America were married many years after they arrived in the Oregon Territory). Further, their experiences were probably very different from each other. Richard Bogle crossed the Oregon Trail in 1851 as a young man of 16, without the help of relatives or anyone he had grown up with. America Waldo crossed the Oregon Trail, probably as a young girl between the ages of 2 and 10, sometime between 1846 and 1854, and she likely traveled with close relatives or at least individuals that had raised her. Both probably experienced additional hardships, compared to other travelers, as they were among the relatively small group of African Americans that traveled the Oregon Trail.
What year did people start leaving to go to the Oregon trail?
The quick answer is between the years 1841 and 1869. The Oregon Trail was one of the original main routes from East to West in American. Those migrating to the pacific northwest (including settlers, ranchers, businessmen, farmers, miners, and others) would typically start the journey in April or May, so that the various needs were met while on the trail (i.e. grass for the animals, water for everyone, etc). The Oregon Trail was also a fantastic game, one that I played in the late 80s, that taught what it was like to be a pioneer in the 1800's.
Who did they travel with on the Oregon trail?
Explorers and fur traders first traced the course of the Oregon Trail. In 1805, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traveled on a western section of the route in the region of the Snake and Columbia rivers. Trader Robert Stuart also used the trail while returning from Fort Astoria. Benjamin Bonneville is credited with taking the first wagons through South Pass in the 1830's. Nathaniel J. Wyeth also led companies over the trail. John C. Fremont surveyed a portion of the route in 1842 for the United States Army. http://www.worldbookonline.com/advanced/article?id=ar405360&st=oregon+trail---my sourcepeople
What are some interesting facts about the transcontinental railroad?
While traveling through Wyoming, I found it interesting that in certain places along the O.T., you can still see the ruts cut into the ground by the old wagons that traveled the trail. The journey from Missouri to Oregon Territory (approximately 2000 miles) took about 6 months to complete. Between 1849 and 1853, Asiatic Cholera was the greatest killer on the Oregon Trail
Which river did the California Oregon and Mormon trails generally follow through the great plains?
The Platte River provided a natural guide for most pioneers who made the trek either via the Mormon Trail or the Oregon Trail. Because of persecutions suffered by the Latter-day Saints in both Missouri and Illinois, they tended to stay north of the river, while the Oregon Trail stayed on the south side. However, the trails crossed and merged at various points, and both took advantage of ferries and bridges constructed by both parties. The Latter-day Saints diverged from the basic Oregon Trail at Fort Bridger after consulting with Jim Bridger as to the most viable routes into the Great Basin area of what is now Utah.
