This is the trail from Independence, MO. to Oregon City, OR. This was referred to as THE OREGON TRAIL.
But never take "shortcuts" because you might end up like the Donner Party. The Donner Party decided to shorten the Oregon Trail by cutting up through the mountains until WINTER STRUCK . After that they were trapped in the mountains till finally they were forced to eat their neighbors, friends, family, and even children that had frozen to death
so that they could stay alive. At the end, only one man was discovered alive. There were buckets of boiling blood. Even the leader of the party, George Donner himself, was found decapitated,and his brain was picked out. The man was said to never be the same again after eating his four-day-old sweet innocent baby girl . Now the mountains are renamed DONNER PASS. To learn more about the Donner Party, click here.
