Today we landed in Independence Missouri 1843. We have decided to move west on the Oregon trail, but first we had to learn a little bit about it. We learned people wanted to move west because land was very cheap or free, or wanted a new life etc. Some people called us the pioneers but we called ourselfs emigrants because Oregon wasn't part of the United States till 1859. Then our transportation we'll be by feet even though we will have covered wagons. The wagons will hold the supplies and will only carry people if very young, old, sick or injured. Now were ready to move west.
