Well, my great grandmother told me about her great auntie Millie's story.
Aunt Millie was child when her family moved from Ireland to NYC, then decided to stake their claim in the Manifest Destiny.
She talked of the daily travels and from what I can gather, the women on the trail did a lot of cleaning, cooking, tending to pains and injuries. When they would settle for the night, the women would gather around the fire and go through a penis cleaning ritual. After all the penis' were cleaned, they would have a "dick sucking" contest for lack of a better term. The exercise and flexibility of all parties was then kept through rigourous sexual festivities.

During John Tyler's administration, the 2000-mile route known as the Oregon Trail became popular. This trail was a major pathway for settlers moving westward to the Oregon Territory in search of new opportunities and fertile land. It played a significant role in the westward expansion of the United States during the mid-19th century. The trail was heavily traveled by pioneers seeking a better life, contributing to the settlement of the American West.
