Who was the first person to go on the Oregon trail?
Few historical authors have captured the western migration and the history of the West as well as did James Michner in his epic novel Centennial. It portrays the hopes, dreams and aspirations of this brave force of migrants as well as failed hopes, trials and tribulations and dreams of the future.
The first post should be left unchanged because it represents the genuine aspirations of wealth versus the dream of betterment for a future for your family. Many who traversed the Oregon Trail spilled their blood as a right of passage (often by the accidental discharge of their own firearms) and rarely at the hands of Native Americans in defense of their homeland. Passage was readily granted but stopping squatting or leaving the accepted route of the Oregon Trail was fobidden by the Native American residents.
Who followed the Oregon Trail is a complex question but in truth they were the:
- Dreamers
- Exiles
- Grifters, Drifters and Con Artists
- Vagrants, bums the unemployed and the newcomers.
- Wealthy investors, entrepruners and visionaries but most of all they were
- Dreamers.

Did Louis and clark use the Oregon trail Oregon trail?
No, the Oregon Trail was used by people moving to settle in Oregon later in the Nineteenth Century. It didn't exist yet when Lewis and Clark surveyed the land the United States gained in the Louisiana Purchase. In fact, the Oregon Territory was not even a part of the Louisiana Purchase.
The California Gold Rush, Mormon Pioneers, and Oregon Trail were three major movements in the Westward Expansion. They all involved large groups of people traveling to the west in search of a better life.
What was the result of the Oregon Trail?
Because of the Oregon Trail people were able to settle out west and lead the way for other settlers. Before the Oregon Trail no one lived out west and the only time it had been explored was on the Lewis and Clark expedition, and during that they stuck to the Columbia River and followed it to the Pacific and back, but had never wondered outside of that area. I am from Oregon and it is a big thing to us because I grew up on the Columbia River and use to swim in it during the summer. It allowed people opportunity to expand to the west.

What did the pioneers have to cross on the Oregon trail?
Of course going to Oregon on the Oregon Trail you would have to cross something. And starting from the East of the country made it harder. Because there were so many rivers in the plains, it was very hard to cross over them. Escpecially high rushing rivers . Little streams weren't the biggest problem. they would have to put there wagon and some times animals on a big wooden plank. This used up their maybe supplies or just trees and time. One little tip of the floating plank, you could lose all you supplies. Especially food, water,and tools, they could cause them to die if they didnt have it later on the trail. There were also the huge Rocky mountains! A lot of people died from from harsh tempatures crossing the mountains.Most people hoped to not cross the mountains in the winter so it wouldn't be as cold.
