“Covered wagons dominated traffic on the Oregon Trail. The typical wagon was about 11 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, with bows of hardwood supporting a
bonnet that rose about 5 feet above the wagon bed. With only one set of springs under the driver's seat and none
on the axles, nearly everyone walked along with their herds of cattle and sheep.”

“When the Trail got crowded (in 1849 and later) camping became more difficult. The biggest problem was finding
fuel for the campfires. Soon trees were scarce and there was only one alternative:
buffalo dung. No one liked collecting it, but it did burn and gave off a consistent odorless flame”

“Nearly 1 in 10 who set off on the Oregon Trail did not survive. The two biggest causes
of death were disease and accidents. The worst disease was cholera, caused by unsanitary conditions.
People in good spirits in the morning could be dead by evening. Symptoms started with an intense stomach
ache, then came diarrhea and vomiting causing dehydration. If death did not occur within the first
12 to 24 hours, the victim usually recovered”
