- What was it like to cross a continent in a covered wagon?
"Emigrant Road" follows the pioneer trail 2,000 miles across the American West from Independence, Missouri to the Willamette Falls near Portland, Oregon, features the annual wagon train river ford reenactment at Three Island Crossing, Idaho, and takes an unprecedented close-up look at the historic, original paintings by William Henry Jackson at Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. Comparing what the pioneers saw then to those same views today, award-winning filmmaker James R. Tompkins guides us through the ages, sharing the personal trail diaries of many of those who made the treacherous journey.
"Emigrant Road" was one of the first digital Travel Adventure Cinema shows (also known as Travelogues), evolving from a 100-year-old art form that has now all but disappeared from the American cultural landscape. It was presented live (narrated from the stage) at performing arts venues, college theaters, high school auditoriums, and community centers all over the United States between 1997 and 2007. Performances included Carnegie Music Hall, the National Geographic Society, the SunDome, and the Universities of Utah, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and many others, usually as a part of a season of travel film lectures presented by local organizations.
Join us as we journey along the Emigrant Road on an Oregon Trail adventure!

I used to visit Independence Rock when I lived in Casper, Wyoming. What an interesting monument to all the brave, adventurous pioneers who crossed this country looking for a better life. Thanks so much for bringing their journey to life.
One of the few, historical, accounts of the early history of the settlement of the USA that I have enjoyed. A great presenter and easy to listen to. This for me has been a five star plus presentation. Thank you so very much. Andy from New Zealand.
Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
What movie can I watch that talk boute how first 4th July got started what movie can I watch free and what name of it can u answer this please.
Super soothing voice of narration as we see footage from the sights along the Oregon Trail. Hearing the narrator read from the journals of the pioneers helps to create a sense of the atmosphere of living at such a time. This is a wonderful resource and much appreciated!
Thanks very much! So glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant film. Thanks
Really, with all the hardships, those brave pioneer families were excited and had wonderful experiences. Some of the pioneer journals are full of joy, accomplishment, family trials as well as beautiful times.
man I've been enjoying this! excellent use of historical accounts, beautiful country, and decent reenactments 🤣🤣
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say!
Wonderful
Thank You!
These people built America
Thank you, how wonderful to have such a collage of the scenery and excerpts from journals of the travelers. A very rich history, indeed.
My dad's side of the family goes back generations, 15 miles west of Scottsbluff on the trail. Lots of history around that area of the West.
Thoughtfully and beautifully done! Thank you for presenting this video.
Glad you liked it!
The wonders of history & the goodness of the heart!!!
What a beautiful video. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Beautifully presented.. When i was a child, i saw portions of the trail in Oregon..
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful journey thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this film. James, I had the pleasure of meeting you last Saturday at the Ei mixer at Wonderland Lisboa. Before moving to Portugal, we were fortunate to travel the US in our RV, and saw many of the places along the Oregon Trail. With your film, you have suceeded in bringing history to life. The music was very good also. I'm looking forward to watching more of your production soon. Hope to see you again at other expat functions. Cheers
Thanks very much, Randy. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the film. It was a pleasure meeting you as well; I sent you a connection request on Expats Portugal - let's stay in touch.
@adventurefilmmaker Yes we'd like to stay in touch. We come to Cascais pretty often to shop and hang out. I'll go on Expats and figure out how to get back with you.
Well done friend.. I enjoyed this deeply. Cheers mate
Much appreciated!
Of the two main trails, the Oregon Trail was by far the worse. It's a wonder as many people survived it as did.
Great . More like a documentary.
Great show thank you
disappointed my family is not mentioned "Kelsey" Nancy Kelsey was a member of the Bartleson-Bidwell Party and reported to be the first white woman to travel overland from Missouri. Wife of Benjamin Kelsey and sometimes referred to as the Betsy Ross of California for her role in creation of the original bear flag.
Free land for all, but the people who were already calling it home.
This isn't a movie but a Documentary.
44:40 - about Pronghorns, the fastest land animal on the western hemisphere, not really an Antelope but a Giraffoidea and related to the Giraffe and Okapi. Once roaming the plains and mountain valleys, perhaps as many as 50 million, but just like the Bison, the Beaver and several other wildlife species hunted and deprivated to near extinction by the Euro Americans. By 1920 there were some 13.000 left.
You can eat those critters, just ask a mountain man! Or a Native American( American lndian).
The sad part of this video is at 55.00 when your looking at a beautiful crystal clear spring and then here comes a motor boat in 4 foot of water, with a dog jumping off, and the city lady says, They, the dogs. Love chasing the Marmots. So in other words, we dont care about disturbing nature, our dogs love chasing wild animals. So sad, and So Pathectic what people have become today. I will be so happy not to be living that many more years for then I will not see this distruction continue.
Thank you for the comment. FWIW, you may wish to know that this was shot in 1996, more than 26 years ago.
World beaters they are everywhere where with dirt bikes and so in on
I agree 💯. Stay Out Of Their Habitat. You Do Not Belong There.
Horses and cattle drank from these places, and no boat fuel was in the water. GOD did not make us and animals to die of thirst.
Don't worry about the marmots, they get good at not getting caught by predators, from being chased by coyotes, etc.
Very Nice presentation.
But don’t forget the Federal Government encouraged the destruction of the vast buffalo herds to help defeat the native people. Most narratives skip over this little detail.
Really enjoyed the entire film glad I didn't have to make that trip I was just born here in good old Oregon!!!
Omg the narrator voice…😂
I'm glad you enjoyed my voice, Terri. Thanks for the comment.
14:00 You'd have to be a complete moron to ride for and 'hour or two' in a complete circle and not know it.
Humans walk in circles when lost. We can't help it lol. Look it up.
Um. They were settlers. These weren’t intelligent peoples. They were people looking to make a home.
@@cunderw12 Your comment tells me you're not an intelligent person
My Mom used to call it her "short right leg!" Flat forest near Mt. Lassen, CA.@@b.b.6673
Or half moron 😂
nice. but its not a movie
Wasn't meant to be a movie.
@@andrewhorsburgh2549 When they uploaded it, they called it a movie, I too expected a movie. It's a great film, just NOT what it was advertised as. Look under the picture, it says full movie.
I sure enjoyed this whatever you call it! Thanks.
Question for you: It was shown on the big screen to live audiences all over the country; if you're saying it shouldn't be called a movie, then what should it be called? A show? A presentation? A Travelogue? Recorded lecture? Give me your opinion. Thx.
It's a Documentary.. Technically
