and the Oregon Trail |
| Many years ago people in the United States traveled to the new frontiers. In the 1700s the frontier was the Appalachian Mountains, later with westward expansion, the frontier moved to the territories beyond the Mississippi River. The pioneers moved west on horseback, on foot, in small wagons, and even by boat. Use the websites "pionneers" to the right to learn more about the pioneers and what their life was like. |
