In 1848, thousands of emigrants left Independence, Missouri bound for the fertile Willamette Valley in Oregon Country.
The journey stretched nearly 2,000 miles across prairies, mountains, and rivers. Families traveled by covered wagon, driven by oxen, living off dried food and whatever they could hunt or trade along the way.
Disease, accidents, weather, and starvation claimed many lives. Those who reached Oregon found a new beginning — if they arrived before winter sealed the mountain passes.
