#oldwest #americanoldwestfacts #oregontrail

The Oregon Trail wasn’t a journey—it was a test of survival.
Behind the romanticized images of wagons and wide-open plains lies a brutal reality filled with disease, starvation, and death.

In this gripping episode, we reveal the harsh truths about life on the Oregon Trail—stories they don’t teach in school. From packing tough choices and shared grief, to battles with the elements, hunger, and fear of Native encounters (that were often misunderstood), this is history at its rawest.

Featuring real accounts from pioneers like Luzena Wilson, Sarah Bird, and Harriet Scott Palmer, and insights from Francis Parkman’s The Oregon Trail, we unpack:

Why thousands risked everything for land and gold
The deadly toll of cholera and bad water
What happened when food ran out
Dangerous river crossings, bison stampedes, and rattlesnakes
The truth about Native American interactions
What graves lining the trail really meant
