White settlers brought flour, sugar, rice beans, bacon, dried fruit and coffee beans. They took pots and kettles to cook with on the move west. They traveled in 100 wagon trains together to Independence, Missouri.
ReplyDeleteThe settlers used wagon trains on the Oregon trail. They started moving in 1843. About 400 people were killed by indians because the settlers were stealing there land.
ReplyDeleteAbout a 100 families attempted the Oregon trail, but unfortunately not all of them made it the whole way. It took six months to travel on the Oregon trail. It was a long and dangerous trip especially because they were traveling two miles an hour. They traveled from Missouri to Oregon by train wagons driven by horses, oxen and oxygen. On the Oregon trail, indians killed 400 pioneers, but at times the indians also helped the pioneers.
