Which river did the California Oregon and Mormon trails generally follow through the great plains?
The Platte River provided a natural guide for most pioneers who made the trek either via the Mormon Trail or the Oregon Trail. Because of persecutions suffered by the Latter-day Saints in both Missouri and Illinois, they tended to stay north of the river, while the Oregon Trail stayed on the south side. However, the trails crossed and merged at various points, and both took advantage of ferries and bridges constructed by both parties. The Latter-day Saints diverged from the basic Oregon Trail at Fort Bridger after consulting with Jim Bridger as to the most viable routes into the Great Basin area of what is now Utah.
What do the Oregon trail the Santa Fe trail and the Mormon trail all have in common?
