Answer 2

Oregon Trail
Is the trail that thousands of settlers took from Missouri to the Oregon territory in the decades before the Civil War. Missionaries had been sent to the area in the 1830s to convert the Indians to Christianity, and their letters home told of rich farmland in the Willamette River valley. By the mid-1840s, hundreds of families in Conestoga wagons were making the 2,000 mile long trip each year. The journey typically started in Independence, Missouri, and took about five months.

Daily life on the Oregon Trail
A typical day started before dawn with breakfast of coffee, bacon, and dry bread. The bedding was secured and wagon repacked in time to get underway by seven o'clock. At noon, they stopped for a cold meal of coffee, beans, and bacon or buffalo prepared that morning. Then back on the road again. Around five in the afternoon, after traveling an average of fifteen miles, they circled the wagons for the evening. The men secured the animals and made repairs while women cooked a hot meal of tea and boiled rice with dried beef or codfish. Evening activities included schooling the children, singing and dancing, and telling stories around the campfire.

The Mormon Trail was the overland route the Mormon emigrants followed west from Nauvoo, Illinois to Salt Lake City, Utah beginning in 1846. It's the 1,300 mile route that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traveled from 1846-1857.
