a long tiring walk 

mark a new trail by cutting notches in the bark of trees 

to expand a story beyond the bounds of truth

a person who lives on a frontier 

a great eagerness to come to the Oregon Country to live

the surface features of an area of land

a movement from one place to another 

a persons who is among the first to settle in a place 

something hard to endure 

a disease caused by ingestion of contaminated food 

feeling of love and support for one's country 

a storm with widespread snowfall accompanied by strong winds 

a boat used to carry people and goods across water 

Settlers

a person who settles in a new country

to leave, especially because of trouble or danger
