1. “Mountain Men” was the name given to trappers who were lured west by the profits of the fur trade. They moved into Oregon Country, the huge, barely chart- ed area beyond the Rockies, where the forests and mountains were home to beaver and other fur-bearing animals. These men opened the way for later set- tlers.

2. Major threats to pioneer life and limb came from accidents, exhaustion, and disease. Crossing rivers were probably the most dangerous thing pioneers did. Swollen rivers could tip over and drown both people and oxen. Such accidents could cause the loss of life and most or all of valuable supplies.

3. The lure of fertile lands, plentiful rainfall and a mild climate led settlers and trappers to move to Oregon and the Far West in the 1820s. To settle their dispute over lands the United States and Britain agreed to divide Oregon.

4. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were both from upstate New York. ... He practiced medicine for four years in Canada, then returned to New York, where he became an elder of the Presbyterian church. In 1835 he journeyed to Oregon to make a reconnaissance of potential mission sites.
