Thousands of people died on the Oregon Trail during the westward expansion of the United States. The exact number is difficult to determine, but estimates range from 20,000 to 30,000 deaths.

They would Barrie the person and move on and they would never see that grave again
Since accurate numbers of people who died were not kept, there is simply no record of the individuals that died during the Trail of Tears.

About 300,000 traveled on the Oregon trail, however, because of diseases, food shortages, and accidental deaths, only about 90,000 survived the journey.

They died, so did people. It was a very hard trip on all involved.
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. Many families died because of diseases, lack of food and water, and their were even some Indian attacks. They still traveled because there were good opportunities there.
In the 1800's on the Oregon Trail a person who caught dysentery was in trouble from the start. Until Gregory Colloni of Italy, a pioneer on the trail, mixed leaves from a pine tree with water and egg white. The patients tried the potion and it worked successfully. Mr. Colloni is one of the unknown heroes of the world. If not for him, many more people would have died on the Oregon trail.
There was no treatment for it. Most of the people who got it died especially the children. I remember walking through the graveyard at Silver City Nevada and every other grave was a child who died of smallpox. On the trail they had less chance,of survival.
1. people died on both of them 2. they both took weeks or even months to travel on and most who tried it had little supplies
Somewhere between 12,500 and 20,000 people. The discrepancy is because accurate records were not always kept and recorded.
