Oregon Trail Game: Simulation Travel Guide by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

A travel-guide presentation covering the first leg of the Oregon Trail -- from the starting point at Independence, Missouri to the first major landmark, Chimney Rock -- is delivered primarily through a clickable image that links out to the full guide rather than as text embedded directly in this PDF. This PDF consists of a title/cover page, a short welcome note from the creator describing the guide as including visual maps, real emigrant quotes, and trail stops, and a closing thank-you/copyright page directing buyers to click an image to open the actual travel guide.
