Detailed explanation-1: -Certain accessories and tools for making emergency repairs to a wagon were necessary to bring along. These included rope, brake chains, a wagon jack, extra axles and tongues, wheel parts, axes, saws, hammers, knives, and a sturdy shovel.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crossing rivers was one of the most dangerous things that pioneers were required to do. Swollen rivers could tip over a wagon and drown both people and oxen, and valuable supplies, goods, and equipment could be lost. Sometimes this was caused by animals panicking when wading through deep, swift water.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first days of cooking on the trail were an eye-opening and challenging new experience. Some pioneer women brought their iron ovens from home, but these appliances were heavy and required a lot of wood so they were often abandoned along the trail. A Dutch oven and a reflector oven were more practical tools.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Oregon Trail was much more than a pathway to the state of Oregon; it was the only practical path to the entire western United States. The places we now know as Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, and Utah would probably not be a part of the United States today were it not for the Oregon Trail.
