How did Oregon trail immigrants cross rivers?

Answer 1

when they had their wagons they forded the rivers if the rivers were shallow. if the rivers were deeper, they'd either caulk the wagons (try to make them watertight and float them across) or hired ferry services.

They took: * rafts * boats * swam * walked right through (only if it was shallow enough) Most scientists don't even know, they really don't have evidence on what they used!

Answer 2

Some immigrants had help from the Native Americans.Thoughsome also lost belongings,lives,and loved ones trying to get across.Although, there were immigrants did have help from Native Americans,as I've said.
