Personal Narrative: My Journey To Alcove Springs

If I was back then being wanted by Captain Lewis and Clark, I would go a hundred percent. I would love to help them and discover new things, while I am at

They paddled down to the Ohio River and went upstream along the Missouri River, which made the journey exhausted. What was more, they faced many dangerous situations with wild animals, Native Americans, and tough environment. For example, Lewis and his crew once faced the danger of grizzlies. At first, Lewis was not worried about those grizzlies at all even though the Indians warned him. He believed that their guns could definitely make them safe.

On our trip to California, we (the Donner Party) were forced to face many unexpected hardships. At Alcove springs Grandmother Keyes died. Just past Fort Bridger we took the Hastings Cutoff, which we were informed saved 400 miles. The information was wrong. The shortcut added 100 miles to the journey.

Travelers along the Chilkoot Pass faced the threat of

In my opinion i would want to travel with the people from Jamestown. John Smith is a reasonable man whom those who work may eat those who don 't work would starve. And die if they did not want to work they can not eat. Also a main source of making money for him was growing tobacco in Virginia anyone can have lots of money by growing tobacco on rich Virginia soil. People in this town are basically on their own to survive and work for what they want.

This route would secure timely trade with Eastern European and Asian countries. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with many volunteers would embark on an adventure to last nearly three years. The

One of those not so easy routes was the Trail through the Bitterroot Mountains. The journey though the trail took just about 11 days and half of the crew members got deeply malnourished. Mosquitos were also another major problem. Crew members would face multiple bites during the hot summers. Few would have to face low swelling because of how many bites they received.

The Corps was persuaded to stay one more day. Lewis and Clark exchanged with Sacagawea horses if she lead them through the land and mountains as well as helping translate and interpret. The Corps also needed food to eat when it was hard for them to provide on their own. After being welcomed into the Wanapam and Yakima tribes, Lewis and Clark exchanged items like knitting paraphernalia for dog meat to eat. By exchanging goods and knowledge, Lewis and Clark were able to successfully complete their journey with the help of the goods exchanged

My Experiences of the Lewis and Clark Expedition In May of 1804, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to lead a fact finding expedition of 59 men, in which I was a part of, through the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. We left in May of 1804 and were told to seek a water passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, establish relations with the Native American tribes to inform them that the land was now property of the United States Government, and collect information of the wildlife and its habitats around. This trip took 2 years and 4 months to complete and was very dangerous, long, and tiring.

The Next reason why I would leave Valley Forge is the cooking they have. The reason that I would leave because of the cooking is because the pots weren’t clean and the food was probably just gross because nothing would have got clean and there was not enough to go around to everybody and that 's why everybody was starving and that was one of the reasons most of the deaths were caused by and also the one that I will be talking about after this one right here. The final reason that I would leave Valley Forge is because of how cold it was I would not have been able to live in the conditions of it being so cold and not have anything to eat and not have any clothes on or maybe just a shirt I could not deal with the hypothermia or the frostbite on my toes cause didn 't have any shoes to keep my feet warm this is what would push me all the way over the point by itself not just because it would be cold just the fact of knowing I couldn’t do anything about it, that is why I couldn’t stand this problem.

The Indian Territory was also dangerous to go across. They saw us as trespassers and angry men would attack us (Document C). They had ferocious dogs that would end our cattle’s life and ours. It was a risk to go through Indian Territory but it is the fastest and best-calculated route to go on.

Many families lost members due to infections and disease. I wanted quite so we left during a slow day giving us space on the trail. Our experience on the trail was harsh, the weather was bad, our wagons needed a lot repairs and my son Joseph got cholera almost dying. This delayed our trip by months then years.

The trails weren’t the easiest to travel through either. A lot of people would travel by sea which was about 17,000 miles and a four to nine month journey depending on weather. The trip was in both hot where you would broil it was so hot and so cold you

The referenced website explains exactly how the pioneers struggled. It illustrates how desperate they were and their consistent need for supplies. Pioneers would not be able to survive without the essential resources. “Food, water, and wood were always scarce, and travelers often encountered contaminated water holes” (Johnson and Lamb). Pioneers would be lucky if they completed the trip without a near death experience.

Also,we went to the restroom, bought some food passes got and some maps. Then it was the fun part, so I thought. What we didn’t realize is that the line for the Top Thrill Dragster was 2 ½ hours! Therefor, my mom left the line at about two hours into it. But my dad, sister and I fought through the burning sun and heat.
