In the essay “On the Oregon Trail” by David Dary explains the emigrant knowledge that took place on the Oregon Trail in course of 1846 and how they wrote their own memories. to write more than twelve travel letters which had survived and to include parts of information on these that six of the emigrants kept fewer diaries. Dary summarizes how the emigrants took a trip with the nine wagons owned by the Reed and Donner families to Illinois and what they endured as they traveled miles to California between 1846 and 1948. Dary focuses also on participation. and the journey of Lansford Hastings and Edwin Bryant who is not a camp doctor, but who has two friends who go to California where he also takes care of some of the emigrants in his company to join his left, but the emigrants had some difficulties following Hastings whose journey did not go very well. The journals contained many events that were written about, but it happened. Early on, Bryant was headed to California with William H. Russell, and other men in the company were unhappy with the slow pace of the journey. Bryant's group quickly came under pressure to make the trip more difficult. To solve the problem, he then calculated the distances between Independence and Fort Sutter based on the direction he was traveling, but Bryant also sent letters to emigrant friends advising them not to go in the same direction. About eighty emigrant wagons positioned from Fort Bridger towards Hasting. The eighty-seven emigrants were in Donner's company to discuss whether they should follow Hastings' threshold. Hastings wrote a letter to the last emigrants stating that they had to travel middle of paper...... that they are all dead and that Mrs. Donner was manipulated by an unknown person, but the eighty-nine of the emigrants who left with Hastings Threshold, forty-five of them, continue to live. The Donner Party was just one page in the history of the Oregon Trail, but the significance was the reality of the 1,200 emigrants who arrived in Oregon and the other 1,400 who arrived safely in California , but newspapers had something to do with everything, they told about many events that happened if someone were to die the newspapers tell everything that is going to happen in the day. Edwin Bryant was so supportive of the emigrants so that they could arrive in California by a path that was not even difficult. The emigrants had a difficult journey in the 1840s. Nothing happened as they planned, but at least some of them survived and went to California although the rest arrived in Oregon..
