What hardships (challenges) might people have faced on the Oregon Trail? Provide at least four (4) examples:

On the Oregon Trail, settlers faced numerous hardships and challenges. Here are four examples:

1. Rough terrain and river crossings: The journey involved traversing difficult and often unpredictable terrain, including steep mountains, rocky landscapes, and treacherous river crossings. Wagons and livestock could be damaged or lost during these challenging parts of the trail.

2. Harsh weather conditions: Settlers encountered extreme weather conditions such as scorching heat, freezing cold, intense storms, and blizzards. This made travel difficult, as it could damage supplies and equipment and make camping and hunting for food more challenging.

3. Limited food and water: The lengthy journey meant that settlers had to carry limited supplies of food and water. They had to rely on hunting, fishing, and foraging for additional sustenance along the trail. However, resources were often scarce, and settlers frequently faced hunger and thirst.

4. Disease and illness: Close quarters and unsanitary conditions on the trail led to the spread of diseases, such as cholera, dysentery, and smallpox. Lack of proper medical care and limited access to clean water contributed to the high mortality rate on the trail. Many settlers lost their lives to illness during the journey.

These are just a few examples of the challenges faced by settlers on the Oregon Trail.
