Summary
The Oregon Trail was more than a single path across the American West. This episode explores the network of routes that carried hundreds of thousands of emigrants toward Oregon, California, and beyond, and how those trails changed over time. Along the way, you’ll hear about famous cutoffs, river crossings, mountain passes, frontier forts, and the geography that shaped one of the largest overland migrations in American history. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
