The Oregon Trail and its many offshoots …
Years: 1840 - 1851
The Oregon Trail and its many offshoots are used from the early 1830s to 1869 by over three hundred thousand settlers.
The '49ers (in the California Gold Rush), ranchers, farmers, and entrepreneurs and their families head to California, Oregon, and other points in the far west.
Wagon-trains take five or six months on foot; after 1869, the trip will take six days by rail.
