I had the Texas Instruments watch that had a TV remote function on it. That was a blast in high school muting or turning off the TV and freaking the teacher out.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
@@starloszelson4541 They didn't say that. They commented on the fact that there are inaccuracies everywhere. Anyone who thinks this is well done needs a history lesson. One is not obligated to make a documentary to share this sentiment. Just a desire to learn the actual history. Now go think of something more intelligent to say.
It seems like if you accuse there are inaccuracies you should point out a few of them rather than just a general statement. There is inaccuracies in all history and inaccuracies in those who think they are accurate themselves. 😂
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.
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!! -
Where did they end up in Nebraska? My family homesteaded within sight of Scotts Bluff. Almost into Wyoming; thankfully they stopped when they did...we might not have been Huskers! GBR!
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.
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.
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
there has never been more of a market for small independent film makers than there is today. the fact that you watched this on youtube proves this. this platform makes anyone that wants to be an independent film makers.
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.
2024 thank you keep history alive
It was a good day when the TV and VCR rolled into the classroom and this video would come on

PS you think this is interesting, wait until you do some research into the Donner Party!!!!!!
Me too😊
I was born 150 yrs to late i would have loved to seen those days where you could go into the wild where humans have never been
Humans have been here in America since at least 4000 BC 😂
America has been swarming with people for thousands of years...

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
I assume they must have had maps to guide them, but not sure if that was mentioned....
History + 💯👍

An uncle of mine moved his family to Oregon around 1844-45. Said to have buried a small child on the trail
The Oregon trail has always seemed almost Apollo mission like..

Wagon ruts still exist and not built over, which can be viewed from the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center nearby Baker City, Oregon.

Good thing them missionaries were there to spread the good word through torture and genocide
Those Saints were the most murderous ones on the trail.
How did they pass through rivers and canyons and mountains?
What did you have for lunch? That you produced yourself, child. From ground up.
How old is this documentary that the narrator is calling Native Americans ‘red skinned savages’?! It’s appalling! This needs some serious editing!
No it doesn’t. This is the old perspective. It’s important to keep records of how people used to think in order to not repeat the same mistakes
they were red skinned savages
Relax.
they were savages

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.
