国会创建奥勒冈 (Oregon) 领土
1848年8月14日
从1830年代起，来自美国中西部成千上万的民众纷纷驾驶有遮蓬的马车 (就像你在图片中看到的一样) 到西北太平洋地区寻找新生活。而最早在那里定居的社群是由杰森．李 (Jason
Lee) 所率领的一群卫理公会教徒 (Methodist) ，他们在威拉米特谷 (Willamatte
Valley) 定居。附有遮篷的马车与篷车队在1840年代早期，都是沿着奥勒冈小径(Oregon
Trail)到达那片土地的。你知道这些早期的拓荒者到达终点时看到什么东西吗？
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?
