In 1843, thousands of people began traveling across America to the open lands of the West. Most of these people followed a path known as the Oregon Trail. Pioneers set out from towns along the Missouri River in the Midwest. They made a 2,000 mile trek to their new homes in California and Oregon. Some traveled in covered wagons. Others were on foot or horseback. The route was filled with danger and hardship.

August 1st we nooned in a beautiful groove on the north side of the Platte River. We had by this time got used to climbing in and out of the wagon when in motion. When performing this feat that afternoon, my dress caught on an axle helve. I was thrown under the wagon wheel, which passed over and badly crushed my leg before my father could stop the team.

I was walking into the mall yesterday when I saw the Santa Claus fly away in his sleigh from the back parking lot. He was wearing a red suit and Rudolph's nose was flashing so bright it almost blinded me. I think that is why it was so bright, so I couldn't see him go away in his sleigh. Hm, I think I am on to something fishy!
