The American West 03 - Wagon Trails to the West (1849) - from Timelines.tv

- A 14-year-old girl describes a great American adventure, crossing the Plains by wagon on a 2000-mile journey west. (9.25 mins)
In 1848, the Hester family from Indiana embarked on an epic journey west by covered wagon to California. Their 14-year-old daughter Sallie wrote a diary describing the experience, and this module tells her story. It follows the Hesters across the Plains and over the treacherous Sierra Nevadas - past the place where the Donner Party met their grisly end just three years earlier.

Lol same
LOL i can't imagine the differences of narration of a 14 year old girl in 2017 compared to the girl in the video.
I can't wait to watch this once and then have millions of videos about American History on my recommended
I can't wrap my fingers on how these people managed to go west without any cars,interstates and hotels.
theres this thing called a cart
😂 Oh shit Jason you are funny....people got around for thousands of years without those things...there spirits probably think we are a bunch of lazy f**** driving around in our cars.
Don’t bother worrying about that. It will tax your millennial brain.
Bruh your people lit walked their asses most of the time all the way mad respect 4 that
They had to go west to build those things

reminds me of the ingalls family great video
Quarantine school is the reason I’m here lol:(
Awesome presentation, from Africa with love
those people were very brave!! and had a lot of courage
thank you playback speed x2
I'm here because of The Shining. There's a scene where Jack is telling his family an incident of cannibalism when a group of pioneers get snowed in during "covered wagon times"... Had to look up "covered wagon times" out of interest, and the first half decent video I come across references the incident mentioned in the film, small world.
I’ve been here for years
What amazing, courageous people.
The pbs documentary about Donner trail is the best
thank you
I love that you used primary sources !🥰
Can't look at her the same after they mention cannibalism
i was pressing the right arrow key the entire way through and it still felt like an eternity
im here because Quarentine
Love this!
The video quality though, it looks like it was acc made in 1849
1849, Nah they are seeing the future that quality
They did that video
@@mihail8120 lol
This gives a lot of details.

Can someone brief this for me cba waching it got hw
click "open transcript" and read it through and write down what you need if you are on a computer
I love this ! This is your heritage ! And you all need to watch and learn and be grateful
Respectfully... this isn't everyone's heritage. And being grateful is a relative point of view.
Anyone know the song in the back?
"Roughing it" by Mark Twain is also a good account of crossing from St Joe.
Cool
I loooove the video hehe
I’m here from online learning
Great story
We are still strangers in a strange land, and it gets stranger everyday.
Man that was a long rough trip!!
😬 Whew tell me about it!!!
Recabite Jehonadab IKR it was long

What’s the song?
I searched up my hockey team trails west wolves and I found this...
LOL
OK. Can we get permission to show this at a museum event? PLEASE advise!
I like all of it
9 mins of pain
how to be terrified watch this video
anyone know the name of the peice of music at the start?
I'll find out for you! :)
The Donner Party were stupid all they had to do was back track 30 miles around where Reno is now and stay the winter with the friendly Piuete indians . The snow does,t get deep there , i know iv'e lived in these mountains all my life, and i,m almost 70 yrs old
It probably was a very hard life but at least it was filled with adventure and excitement.. 21st century is more convenient and comfortable but lacks adventure. Unless you’re an astronaut there’s nothing more to discover
Since we all agree that we're here bc of online class....Where are you guys from?
North Scotland
france
Wow! What a time that was. 'The Good 'ol Days' , not so much.
'Eating each other' hmm? How does that work?!
Because she and others wrote things down in perfect grammar. Imagine if you will think about our history on a "thumb drive ". How could anyone in the future decifer what we have on them?
Why do they show the truck
I see a lot of young ones are sniveling because they have to do this for homework. Well suck it up buttercup life gets a whole lot harder than this.
The first pioneers were probably far earlier than this.
she should of said the reason the Donner Party got to the seirra nevada late and worn out was because hastings gave them untested directions and said it was a safe shortcut, it took them weeks longer to navigate the route and they took a major loss going thru the desert.which wore them out and made them late. and something like the night they made it to the pass they got 5 feet of snow. was hastings fault for the whole tragedy
kimiskizi420. What you say is correct but they share some responsibility: they did not have to take the shortcut. Personal experience has tought me to trust no one, not even good friends sometimes. They did not even know Hastings....
kimiskizi420 ...The unbelievable lack of good judgement was a severe tragedy. However, all the blame wrongfully lands on leaders- though ppl ought to be individuals and think independently. i, myself, do not blindly follow others. That is, thankfully, because a 5th grade teacher taught me to BE AN INDIVIDUAL, independent thinker. We should always gather our own info, facts, & carefully weigh the odds ourselves! I have stayed out of trouble that way, more than once! No one can be blamed for our OWN lack of good judgement! THEY SHOULD 'NOT HAVE JUST 'FOLLOWED' ANYONE, NOT KNOWING THE FULL FACTS! 'NOT AT THAT TIME OF YR.!
It is sad to see most of the comments here are coming from kids who just came here for their home work and their ancestors fighting against everything like beasts for a new life
It feels like most of them just don't give a fck about their past, even tho my people and most of the people around the world hate US for being invasive, imperialist, etc.
I feel it is one of the greatest empires that humanity ever reached involving every social, technological, and many other aspect you could imagine I really belive we could reach level 1 civilization if we had this kind of people of the past, with hunger to know always more and achive everything they wanted 👍
It’s Sallie’s Mom who is sick it’s not her Dad !
feels a lot more like an hour than 9.5 minutes
need to write a 300 words document in french from this for my english lessons, FML
jeez that sucks
I only have to write one paragraph from any pioneer video. and you can tell ive been skipping english classes by my spelling .
I have to do something probably bigger; I’m writing and also acting my own play with three other peeps (directing and writing script).
holy shit-
...as for the Donner party, I don't understand why they didn't winter in a safer, lower area instead of trying the pass at that time, so late in the yr., even if they had to backtrack! It's a miracle that anyone survived! And, as the strongest will being to survive, I can't blame them for eating whatever there was available for sustenance, even though it is repulsive when you, yourself, are not starved near to death.... Sad.

Not trying to sound macabre, but what happened if their wagon horses died?
Good question! For the most part, travelers used oxen instead of horses to pull the wagons, and typically they would keep extra oxen so that they could rotate them as necessary. Having extra oxen meant they could continue on if one died, and they could use the oxen as food if game was scarce and provisions low.
Wagon parties were typically fairly large, so it was highly unlikely to lose all oxen, but there are cases of wagons having to be abandoned, along with supplies that didn't fit on the remaining wagons.
i have to wright an A-Z book for the oregon trail and this is letter C
most immigrants were not the poor but the middle class
Most were those who everything to gain & nothing to lose. You generally don't leave a nice home, a good job, extended family, social roots, peaceful surroundings, schools, churches to venture into the unknown. Ask yourself..would you ( with no guarantees)? Most were lower middle class, landless/ penniless folks. Later after the RR & the west was basically settled, then the true middle class came.
I'm here because I want to learn, NOT for school!

Kill me now..whos here because your studying Oregon trail...killll meeeeeeeee😒
Letizia Luciano I’m here because I’m English and we never studied this really in school. I have a degree in history (years ago now!) but it was predominantly medieval history which is my fave but the older I get the more interested in other things.

Wild West
bruh 9 minutes
so they made thru Pawnee nation w/o seeing 1 indian? no mention of buffalo? hardly plausible
Indians were seldom on their heels. That's a myth. Until they started slaughtering the buffalo for sport. And the Donner party got to sierras too late because they took the Hastings cutoff...a miserable passage, if one could call it that!
School-
Who else is watching because it is interesting? -Not for school.
