The Oregon Trail: Reimagined

YEAR 1847, United States of America

The number of settlers have gradually increased since the first expedition to Fort Hall, Idaho in 1836. Many settlers have travelled to a long trail, such in wagon trains, heading to where the land is vast and fertile. Most settlers are apparently trying to get to Williamette Valley in Oregon, due to the fact that the land was truly lush and green. Perfect for any new settler out there.

However, stories of harsh winter, illnesses, and hostile territorial native Indians who attack anyone that trespasses their territory. Some settlers didn't heed advice and weren't lucky when they left early. Others left too late and suffered the harsh, cold weather. Only a few handful of settlers over the years were lucky to make it to Oregon.

But that didn't stop you from preparing and saving up. You worked hard to gain more & more money for the long, arduous trip through the now-called Oregon Trail for a year. Not much by your standards when you counted how much you saved up when the year passed, but it can do. Now, you thought it may be a great idea to have some partners with you on the trip to Oregon. Luckily, you heard about settlers with a diverse set of skills waiting to be picked for the trail, and so...you head there.

Usually, you'd expect a handful of settlers waiting to be picked for a wagon trail party. But there were a handful more than you were prepared. But honestly, it would vary your choices better. Because you knew that a trip through the Oregon Trail was NOT an easy feat.
