I arrived in the US in 1993 and the first computer game I played was the Oregon trail ❤️ I always wondered why the game was so difficult 🤦🏾I've been obsessed with the History of the Oregon trail ever since. 1883 wow what a whim.

It was a good day when the TV and VCR rolled into the classroom and this video would come on

1883 show brought me here!!!!

My great Aunt Ruby came across America in a covered wagon and lived to see man walk on the moon.

My great grandfather was a small boy when he came across the plains by wagon train. GGGrandmother sold everything in sheridan Wyoming and finished the trip by train. I have :her diary, its incredible!! -

Being indigenous this would of never been my journey. I love watching historic videos about the past to get others perspectives on Native Americans/poc during the expansion West. ❤️

Into the West, series. Excellent recap of the troubled history, without doing alot of research on the expansion West. The McClung Library in Knoxville TN has a large 17 volume history on the Cherokee. Spanish documents and friars that accompanied the Spanish will give you an Idea how the first documented encounters with different Tribes were dealt with.

Excellent documentary! Thank you 🙏

Pioneer village is a great memory from my childhood my father my grandfather and my uncle who was like a big brother went hunting in Campbell. We visited there. Every time we went.

FASCINATING LOOK INTO AMERICA'S PAST AND STRUGGLES !!!

Excellent documentary I appreciated it and learnt more historical information 👌🏼

EXCELLENT production in every way. 15-20 miles a day, day after day after day was a tough thing thing to keep up! Freezing in the Rockies was the wages of a delay. This vid will get a million views, TYVM

I love history. That part where they described the earliest ways of figuring out who will be leader. They'd make candidates run literally and whoever had the longest tale of people running beind was chosen. Thats wild.

Good documentary 👍👍

Excellent

Excellent History, wish I knew the details and real story.

What's even more fascinating is to read the diaries kept by those who made the journey. Unfortunately, the graves they left along the way were sometimes dug up by the Native Americans for their clothing which was often infested with deadly diseases. For a more complete Hx of the Mormons, look up the "Mountain Meadow Massacre."

Wow. This is one I did not know about. I’ll be looking into it more! I did not know they also attacked “emigrants” moving West. For how untrustworthy they were at the time, we sure rely a lot of their accounts of history as facts.

History + 💯👍

Thanks

Outstanding!

Pretty sure I hear Jason Robards' voice, and a few others I can't place. Hope we get the credits.

In Kansasland at the start of the trails That led to the Golden West The Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Were the two that were known the best

An uncle of mine moved his family to Oregon around 1844-45. Said to have buried a small child on the trail

Sod busters were settlers in the Plain States not Oregon. My grandparents came down out of Wisconsin to North Platt and farmed living in a sod home they built.

The Oregon trail has always seemed almost Apollo mission like..

How fur?

The reality of natives who wiped out whole families because they were crossing their land is well known. And they were particularly brutal. But they were like that to other native tribes too. Some tribes were peaceful and some were warlike, they were just like the rest of us, not total victims

It was the late 1700's not 1840 1850 when they started moving west, leaving from St Louis. This was during the days of Lewis and Clark.

Well, “moving west” is pretty vague language. One could say the Europeans had been moving west since 1492 and not be wrong. According to the NPS, the first wagon train to use the Oregon trail was in 1836, though they didn’t quite make it all the way there. Before that, besides the Lewis and Clark expedition only a handful of exceedingly ballsy fur traders had gone overland to the pacific, it seems.

It’s a shame the Oregon trail has been built over would be an amazing walk today but in the name of progression history is lost should of been preserved as a national heritage site where nothing could be built in view of the trail or on it only what the pioneers had built

Nice presentation with excellent narration. Unfortunately the end credits are obscured by an inconsiderate pasting of coming attractions that, adding insult to injury, have nothing to do with the subject of the present program. Thank you for insulting the viewer.
