Ole didn't have to die. The party left too late in the season, but the leadership didn't order them to stay but instead goaded them to go on. The film correctly points out that the handcarts were poorly made of green wood that was unsuitable for the task. Worst of all those responsible for the planning didn't provide enough food for the people. The church also failed to adequately resupply the two companies at fort Laramie. As a result it was primarily malnutrition and the late season's cold weather that caused so many deaths. This was a disaster orchestrated for those responsible for the planning who didn't do enough even after they realized what is about to happen. These people didn't have to die.
