Excerpt:(Submitted on November 3, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)The Oregon Trail was a 2,170-mile eastwest, large-wheeled wagon route and emigrant trail in North America that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon Territory. The eastern part of the Oregon Trail crossed what is now the states of Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The western half crossed the current states of Idaho and Oregon. The Oregon Trail was laid by fur traders and trappers from about 1811 to 1840 and was initially only passable on foot or horseback.
