We traveled in family groups along the Oregon Trail during our study of Westward Expansion. Family members kept journals which include their perspectives on the fates that befell them.    Lessons were learned and an appreciation for the lives real people faced during the mid 1800's was developed.

     Please read our journals and see for yourselves what life might have been like for pioneers during this time period. Just click on a picture to read the journal.  Not all are currently published, but they will be published soon.
