There were many dangers. Life was very hard.. At the start the land was flat and everyone was still fresh, but as the trip went along things got harder.

They faced awful storms, floods, loosing family members and friends to the various diseases and accidents. Some lost everything in mountain passes or in flooded rivers. Most of the women and children walked the entire way. Today the prairie in some places is still pretty much the way they found it with bugs, heat, and winds blowing all day every day.
