Title: Oregon trail images?
Post by: Oregon Bill on November 20, 2011, 07:33:14 PM

I'm scouring Google for original Daguerreotypes and ambrotypes of emigrants on the Oregon Trail circa 1842-1855 and not finding much. There had to have been some. Anyone find a stash on the Net?

Yeah, I had no problem.  Just go to images and type in "Oregon Trail"  Found a plethora of samples.

I remember these days.  I had a habit of developing a mean case of Typhus.  Got scapled by injuns once.  That wasn't fun.  Don't think I ever made it to the promised land, though mercy did I try.
