The Untold Truth About The Oregon Trail

[@GrungeHQ]

What would be the hardest obstacle for you on The Oregon Trail?

[@Rick_King]

No place to plug in my microwave, or my electric blanket!

[@wmjohns881]

No internet

[@karlfonner7589]

For me, it would be that dusty planes and the possibility of bad water

[@DavidLaff-u7b]

It's only untold because none of us beat the game

I took care of a 102 year old woman in the late 80s. She told me about mostly walking from St Louis to the Olympia area as a child. She said riding in the wagons was like being a marble shaken up in a can! So many amazing stories! ❤

My family survived the lost wagon train to the Willamette valley in 1853, and were stranded in much the same way as the Donner's. Fortunately for me they were all rescued.

Great video. Thanks. My high school American history teacher had a D & D type game he created for the Oregon Trail. This was way before computers in every pocket. His class created an interest in history for me. I learned (and remember) a lot about this subject.

There needs to be a proper movie based on The Oregon Trail.

[@poindextertunes]

theres literally like a half dozen of them

[@tylerchamberlain8251]

Have you ever played the video game? It slaps

[@TylerMcNamer]

@@tylerchamberlain8251 The latest title perfected the formula well.

[@TylerMcNamer]

@@poindextertunes I meant to say for modern cinema.

I'm an avid hiker who's gotten lost many times even using high tech navigation aids but can't imagine traversing 2,170 miles on the "Oregon Trail" in wagons pulled by animals with no GPS or accurate maps depending solely on a guide(usually drunk) who used dead reckoning and monuments to navigate by and if anything happened to him you'd be shit out of luck.Yes in deed these were iron men and women in wooden wagons of yesteryear the Nephilim's the Bible spoke of. America should have a special day set aside to honor these souls of past !

[@rgnyc]

Well written, well researched - thank you!

[@NotDrDre]

“Between 1840-1860, Native American tribes likely killed around 362 emigrants, while the settlers trekking the Oregon Trail killed about 426 Indigenous people.” You have a source for this bold statement?

[@TheSilkSatinSultan]

Someone please tell me the name of the background music for these videos or where to find it?!

[@spookerredmenace3950]

is any of the actual Trail still around?

[@andrewd2652]

Yes

[@andrewd2652]

There are some KZbin videos of parts of the trail that are still visible

[@hollyrashell]

Untold? This is almost exactly what we were told

[@Drofthechalice]

3:00 theres no difference in modern medicine. Except doctors don't prescribe whisky for pain or insomnia anymore.

And I doubt anyone had on any New Balance walking shoes.

[@questerperipatetic4861]

What movies were those clips from? I want to watch them now.

[@Kaitdig]

Bruh the very first image has a pretty egregious error in it (an increasing & alarming trend in Grunge videos). Do you need a new editor?

[@Rick_King]

Are you talking about the map?

[@patf1288]

I don't see any

[@rkinca3512]

Maybe that was the US capitol in the 1840s.... 🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathanbarker1016]

I think 🤔 might had some relatives that might done that trail , but would have really look 👀 it up. Since my relatives go far back in two countries in North America . But they were here in west , when things were new , border lines were not drawn out. But I have played the classic “Oregon Trail “ , and do have cousins in Oregon state on my Mom’s side.

[@jamesellis2784]

It was in. Florida, ? ,

[@espor9297]

I love knowing grown up on Oregon tail. I grown up in Oregon in both side of Oregon

Trail of trash... sounds like Everest!

If you lie in your video title again I will unsubscribe to your channel. Your lie is specifically the word "Untold". I earned a master's degree in history and I can assure that this story has been told before.

[@hotmessexpress00]

Oh nooo…don’t go. 😂

[@TrueMithrandir]

[@TM-yn4iu]

Please explain your "untold" comment, seriously. Just curious. Aside from the Donner party.

[@unholycrucifilth]
