Passing thru Utah: Fremont & the Oregon Trail Utah Studies Passing thru Utah: Fremont & the Oregon Trail

More First Pioneers & Explorers Review: In 1841, the Bidwell-Bartleson Party left Independence, Missouri, looking to settle in California. Rumors of gold, plentiful land, etc., were factors. They were guided by a mountain man, “Broken Hand” Fitzpatrick, all the way to the Salt Lake. They had a white woman, Nancy Kesley, a member of the party, is the first white woman known to have entered Utah. A young adventurer, John C. Fremont, aka the “Pathfinder”, did much to explore the West, including Utah, and soon followed VID.

John C. Fremont’s Other Expeditions Fremont engaged in actually 4 main expeditions in the West, exploring what would be Utah several times. After returning from California during his 2nd expedition (1843-1844), where he mapped out the Oregon Trail, and spend some time in Northern Utah, he returned again on his 3rd Expedition (1845). He explored the Provo River, as well as the future sight of Salt Lake City. Then, they traveled westward across the Salt Flats to Pilot Peak, a tall mountain on the Utah-Nevada Border that guided them across the desert. They then continued on to California. During his 4th Expedition, in 1853, he again returned to Utah, this time looking to map out a route for a Transcontinental Railroad. By this time, Mormon settlements dotted the area. Eventually he settled down in California, and was elected a senator and even ran for President.

The Oregon Trail As mentioned in the video, the Pacific Coast and California offered ample land, as well as potential riches, to those that dared make the journey. Some were successful, but many were not. VID HW: Remainder of class, you have several options: You should definitely work on your Passing Thru Utah project, which is due as a draft next time, T1D19. I recommend you start with this! You can also work on your California Gold Rush assignment, but this is easily done by yourself. Or, you can get together as partners and play the original Oregon Trail game that I played at your age (worksheet due next time) Good luck, and make sure to fill out the worksheet as you progress!
