Oregon Trail

Japanese: オレゴン街道 - オレゴンかいどう(英語表記)Oregon Trail
Oregon Trail
The most famous migration route in the history of American westward development. It is a 3,200 km journey from Independence, Missouri, across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains to the Oregon region, and the migration took four to six months. Although it was known as a transportation route since the 1820s, it was not used by emigrants until 1841, and the migration of a large group of over 1,000 people in 1843 made this route particularly famous. Their experience in organizing wagon trains, camping methods, replenishing food and feed, and necessary tools helped subsequent emigrants.

Japanese:
アメリカ西部開拓史上,最も有名な移住路。ミズーリ州インディペンデンスから,大平原,ロッキー山脈を越えてオレゴン地方に至る約3200kmの道のりで,移住には4ヵ月から半年かかった。交通路としては1820年代から知られていたが,移住者の利用は41年以降で,とくに43年の1000人以上の大集団による移住が,このコースの名を高めた。幌馬車隊の組み方,野営の方法,食料や飼料の補給,必要な道具類等に関する彼らの経験が,その後の移住者を助けた。
