國會建立奧勒岡 (Oregon) 領土
1848年8月14日
從1830年代起，來自美國中西部成千上萬的民眾紛紛駕駛有遮蓬的馬車 (就像你在圖片中看到的一樣) 到西北太平洋地區尋找新生活。而最早在那裡定居的社群是由傑森‧李 (Jason
Lee) 所率領的一群衛理公會教徒 (Methodist) ，他們在威拉米特谷 (Willamatte
Valley) 定居。附有遮篷的馬車與篷車隊在1840年代早期，都是沿著奧勒岡小徑(Oregon
Trail)到達那片土地的。你知道這些早期的拓荒者到達終點時看到什麼東西嗎？
Starting in the 1830s, thousands of people from the Midwest traveled to the Pacific Northwest in covered wagons like the one you see in this picture. The first permanent settlement was established in the Willamette valley by a group of Methodists, led by Jason Lee. Covered wagons and wagon trains were regularly making their way along the Oregon Trail by the early 1840s. What do you think the early settlers found when they arrived at their destination?
