Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overland Migrations: Settlers to Oregon, California, and Utah The busy outfitters of the neighboring towns of Independence and Westport, Missouri - merchants, innkeepers, blacksmiths, saddlers, and the rest - had never before seen such a crowd of movers as the one that poured through their muddy streets in the spring of 1843. Not that the frontier businessmen weren't used to travelers. Each spring for the past 20 years specially built freight wagons had been traveling from Missouri along the famed Santa Fe Trail to New Mexico and, some of them, on south as far as Chihuahua. But the sinewy roustabouts and the Mexican and American proprietors of those caravans were entirely male - adventurers, not set tlers seeking new homes. By fall most would be back with the bars of gold and silver bullion, the jingling silver pesos, the sacks of coarse wool, and the herds of fine Spanish mules that were the fruit of their bartering. This influx was different. Numbering close to a thousand persons, it was composed for the most part of families. Members ranged in age from an occasional grandfather and grandmother down to a scattering of babes - even unborn babes to judge from the appearance of a few of the women. They planned to journey to the Pacific Coast - more than twice as far as Santa Fe - ih ordinary farm wagons covered with flimsy roofs of canvas. What was more, none of those setting forth that year intended, at least at the outset, to come back again. When news of this gathering reached New York, Horace Greeley, editor of the influential Tribune, picked up his pen in amazement. Years later, Gree ley would advise the youth of the nation, Go west, young man, and grow up with the country. In 1843, however, he wasn't ready for so radical an idea. Instead he wrote scornfully, This migration of more than a thousand persons in one body to Oregon wears an aspect of insanity.

Download or read book Surviving the Oregon Trail, 1852 written by Weldon Willis Rau and published by Washington State University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With numbers swelled by Oregon-bound settlers as well as hordes of gold-seekers destined for California, the 1852 overland migration was the largest on record in a year taking a terrible toll in lives mainly due to deadly cholera. Included here are firsthand accounts of this fateful year, including the words and thoughts of a young married couple, Mary Ann and Willis Boatman, released for the first time in book-length form. In its immediacy, Surviving the Oregon Trail, 1852 opens a window to the travails of the overland journeyers--their stark camps, treacherous river fordings, and dishonest countrymen; the shimmering plains and mountain vastnesses; trepidation at crossing ancient Indian lands; and the dark angel of death hovering over the wagon columns. But also found here are acts of valor, compassion, and kindness, and the hope for a new life in a new land at the end of the trail.

Download or read book So Rugged and Mountainous written by Will Bagley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of America’s westward migration is a powerful blend of fact and fable. Over the course of three decades, almost a million eager fortune-hunters, pioneers, and visionaries transformed the face of a continent—and displaced its previous inhabitants. The people who made the long and perilous journey over the Oregon and California trails drove this swift and astonishing change. In this magisterial volume, Will Bagley tells why and how this massive emigration began. While many previous authors have told parts of this story, Bagley has recast it in its entirety for modern readers. Drawing on research he conducted for the National Park Service’s Long Distance Trails Office, he has woven a wealth of primary sources—personal letters and journals, government documents, newspaper reports, and folk accounts—into a compelling narrative that reinterprets the first years of overland migration. Illustrated with photographs and historical maps, So Rugged and Mountainous is the first of a projected four-volume history, Overland West: The Story of the Oregon and California Trails. This sweeping series describes how the “Road across the Plains” transformed the American West and became an enduring part of its legacy. And by showing that overland emigration would not have been possible without the cooperation of Native peoples and tribes, it places American Indians at the center of trail history, not on its margins.
