Will Field Trips: Oregon Trail
Field trips are supposed to be educational right? So why don't we have more of
them? The Oregon Trail would be a fascinating experience because of all the history
behind it.
It is a trail that starts in the middle Eastern United States and goes all of the way
to Oregon. People who were on the trail had to be ready to defend themselves at any
given moment. Most of the women walked because their covered wagons were full of
supplies, or someone was lying in it because they were ill.
My great, great, great grandmother was one of the women to travel along the
Oregon Trail. She carried around with her a lever action 22 rifle because she never
knew when it would come in handy.
You see, the Oregon Trail is a part of our history; not just the United States
history, but Oregon's history as well. We should be proud of where we live and thankful
for all of the technology that we have. Honestly, I would hate to walk all day over rocky
and uneven ground, then get up the next day and do it all over again, but the people
were determined to get somewhere where they could start fresh. They were so
determined that they kept on walking day after day into the unknown.
The schools should make field trips possible. Going to historical landmarks and
learning about them and how they were established is something that has always
intrigued me. Everyone should be able to share and experience the same feeling about
history
