The Oregon Trail extended approximately 2,000 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City, Oregon from 1840 to 1869. More than 50,000 people traveled to Oregon and a great number died on the journey. This talk will cover resources for conducting research on the people and their lives along the trail.

I learned a great deal about the trail route and the experiences of some who traveled it. Appreciate the handout with the extensive research resources she provides.
Excellent webinar. I found this very interesting even tho the family I am researching split-off and headed to California.
Dawn is a fabulous speaker and a wealth of knowledge. Gathered a few more places to continue research on my Oregon Trail relatives a little deeper.
I need to do my Origon Ancestors so this will help
Very interesting history! Next time I read my great uncle’s book, “Saddles East” (he rode the Oregon Trail in reverse, on horseback) the locations will be so much more interesting.
Wonderful information! I’m fascinated by the whole Oregon Trail history and Dawn gave us a wonderful list of sources to check out! Thank you!
Very interesting and informative.
