Travelling on the Mormon trail, everyone had a job to do, including the children. Depending on their age and abilities, children were needed to gather firewood, gather any edible plants, help cook, help with laundry, watch younger children, set up camp, and tend to the animals. Older boys might also help their fathers hunt or drive the wagon.

Women usually spent their time preparing food, making sure the children didn't run off, and mending tents, clothing, blankets, and other supplies. Men repaired wagons and hunted for food. The men would also be called on to defend the camp in case of an Indian attack. Children often fed the animals, helped their parents, or watched younger children.

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.

How did people in the east learn about the Oregon County?

In the 1800s Marcus and Narcissa Whitman wanted to spread their religion. They headed east and set up missions in Oregon. On their journey, they were helped by mountain men, people who work in the mountains and trade beaver pellets. The mountain men were from England, as England had a few settlements in Oregon. The Whitmans found there was very good farmland there, and more people slowly migrated to Oregon. The Oregon Trail devolepod and eventually so many people were there the US won Oregon from England. I'm talking about the Oregon territory, which includes parts of Washington and Idaho.
