When we first started our journey to Oregon, we had to make some decisions. When we bought our wagons, we made the wrong decision. We bought the most heavy and not best wagons, the Conestoga's. During the trail our oxen were tired out and so when we got to our first wagon trader we said we would give you these for the prairie wagons. He said no but the next one said yes but the deal was a little high, we took it any way. From walking for so long all of us got blisters, one person had a terrible infection from walking across the river. Her name was Matilda Faulk. She had to get her foot cut of and it was devastating. It got worse but she is still alive. Later on a boy got a very bad sickness and had to stay behind, at fort Laramie. With another girl who fell in love, there names were, Iskandar Alatas and Alexandrine Haberle. We are moving on with our journey and with what we have.
