American Tools Supply
The Whitman Mission, I need some information please?
I have to make a brochure for American History.
The things we need to have are:
When will the trail begin? – 1836 (Is this the correct departure date?)
Tools and Recourses needed? – None? (didn’t the travelers not need any items with them since they were going to recieve help and items once they reached the Whitman mission site?)
Map – self explanatory
Testimonials – I dont really understand what this means
Obstacles – sickness? (any others)
What awaits you? – Help and supplies? (any others)
Thank you
I am not asking you do just hand-deliver the information to me, I just am asking if my information is correct and if you could help me out.
By trail, do you mean the Oregon Trail? Wikipedia has different info, not 1836. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_trail
I don’t know who your “travelers” are.
I assume you mean “tools and resources” not “recourses.” (?) It took months to get all the way to the Whitman Mission, unless your travelers were nearby. So they would need tools and resources to help them survive while traveling. Also, this wasn’t a modern metropolis they were going to, it was a primitive place. Probably the Whitmans needed any supplies the travelers could bring.
So everything: food, weapons for hunting for more food and for defending themselves against Indians and wild animals, covered wagons to transport all the supplies in and to sleep in, horses and oxen to pull the wagons, cooking utensils, clothes, medicines, bandages, whatever you might need when you’re traveling for months and months.
Maps – maps of the trail route, I guess
Testimonials are statements by people who are happy with a service. So if your brochure is to get people to travel to the mission, you’d put in little quotes by people saying that the trail guides got everyone there safely or whatever. If the brochure is to recruit people to work in the mission, you’d put quotes from other mission workers saying they feel they’re doing God’s work or from Indians saying the missionaries have done wonderful things for them.
Yes, sickness was an obstacle. Also Indians, bears, winter (trapped people because they couldn’t move through the snow and cold – wagons didn’t have heat, you know), lack of food, lack of water in some places. Mountain passes were sometimes too hard on the oxen and horses, so they died and things had to be left behind to lighten the wagons – or the wagon axles would break and they’d have to be left behind.
Depending on when people arrived at the mission, maybe only the Whitmans and the Indians awaited them, or maybe there were some cabins or other shelter, and fields of drops. You’d really have to read what went on at the mission to find this out. Probably a church, since it was a mission. Sure, they had some supplies, but the main way they got them was from the travelers who brought them, although the Indians must have made some, too.
