What was the most important overland route for American migration to the far west?
The Oregon Trail. In 1843, a large wagon train of 1,000 people went on the journey on a path called, "The Oregon Trail" to find new land and new lives. These settlers did not know they were about to make either the best choice of their lives or the worst choice they have ever made. The Oregon trail became popular after people started to find out how many people actually made it to their destination so they started to move to. So many people had made it but not all could see what life was like at their dream home in another land. Between 1840 and 1860 The California Trail had attracted over 250,000 thousand people, but the Oregon Trail attracted well over 300,000 farmers, business men, miners and pioneers.
