Many years ago people in the United States traveled to the new frontiers.  Although in the 1700s the frontier was the Appalachian Mountains, later with westward expansion the frontier moved to the territories beyond the Mississippi River.  Our web page will provide information about the pioneers who traveled not only to Oregon on the Oregon Trail and the Natchez Trace to Texas but all early American Pioneers.  We have discovered that all pioneers had many of the same experiences.  This page will tell the story of the pioneers and their adventures on the trail to their new lives on the frontiers of North America.
