There were many dangers. Life was very hard.. At the start the land was flat and everyone was still fresh, but as the trip went along things got harder. They were going 2400 miles across land that was a combination of prairie , mountains, and deserts. Each had their own problems. They faced awful storms, floods, loosing family members and friends to the various diseases and accidents. Some lost everything in mountain passes or in flooded rivers. Most of the women and children walked the entire way. Today the prairie in some places is still pretty much the way they found it with bugs, heat, and winds blowing all day every day. They were brave stubborn people who put everything on a small wagon, left family, and left on a six month trip to a place they only heard about. The one thing it was NOT was boring.
Families that wanted a fresh start with good land away from the racial tensions of rest of the country wanted to move to Oregon.
People wanted to discover new lands and move to have a better life.
