The Oregon Trail was the main east-west thoroughfare of the United States from the 1830's to 1869, when the transcontinental railroad was completed. Between 250,000 to 300,000 pioneers traveled the trail which stretched 2,000 miles from Independence, Missouri to Oregon City, Oregon. These people were seeking a better life in the newly opened lands of the west. The journey took six months via covered wagon and one in ten died along the way due to disease and severe conditions they had to endure along the trail. The vision of personal freedom and entrepreneurship which drove these pioneers paved the way to make the United States the "Land Of Golden Opportunity."
