[or-roots] The Oregon Trail

[Darlene Casteel]

I, too, enjoy this discussion about the Oregon Trail.  One of my gr-gr-grandfathers came in 1848 (Griffin), and the other in 1852 (Hamlin).  When I think about the hardships they faced as they traveled to and then settled in this new land, it makes me very proud.

  I love this discussion about the Oregon Trail.  So many of us have ancestors that traveled that trail and I worry that the history of the trail over time is becoming diminished.

  My early Oregon ancestors - Cox, King, McCarty - all came to Oregon via the trail.  They joined the many pioneers on their to Oregon in Missouri and were among some of the earliest to arrive here.  I am very proud of my pioneer stock and am eager to finally begin to put that history together for our family.
