2. How did the Lewis and Clark expedition help later pioneers?

Their detailed documentation of the Northwest Purchase helped a flood of pioneers who used their data to successfully colonize the west. Everything from Maps to food sources used for survival were included in their research. Since it was organized research these records were carefully preserved and detailed enough to make a substancial difference. I have lived along the Oregon Trail and realize that without this information, thousands of more people would have died

3. What are some things the pioneers traded with the Indians on the Oregon Trail?

Most of the Indians in the Oregon Country welcomed the white settlers. Their experience with British and American traders led them to see the settlers as a new source of wealth, as tribes which traded with whites became rich and powerful compared with their neighbors. When American settlers began arriving, Indians often guided them through the mountains or let them stake a claim on tribal lands in exchange for gunpowder, food, clothes, or horses. Unfortunately, the traders and settlers also brought new diseases to the Indians, diseases like smallpox and measles which killed whole tribes

4. How did native Americans and pioneers drink water with micro-organisms in it without getting sick?

Same way the Mexicans drink water in Mexico when it makes Americans sick. They grow up with the water and their bodies have adapted to it.

5. What did the pioneers on the Oregon Trail need for their journey?

a gun...water barrel..flour...beans....pots and pans...they left their heavy furniture on the side of the road does that count? blankets..clothes..family heirlooms..

6. What items did the pioneers bring back from Scotts Bluff, NB?

7. What types of challenges were faced by the pioneers of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment Thinker

I believe the challenges was a combination of both scientific and society and the challenges a still basically the same even in our modern society.the scientists still have to abide by certain ethic codes,and we know the conservative nature of our society still plays a huge role in the ethic code those cultural or religious values can sometimes make it impossible to work on anything scientific, take for example the controversy involved in stem cell technology, or the use of model animals (need more elaboration!).as for scientific challenges the pioneers dealt with the weather, risks of contacting diseases, and common mistakes among a few due to the lack of experience of basic skills during the times ,the mistakes caused various types of accidents resulting in broken bones, serious injuries and sometimes death. they were sometimes restrained by previous finding from others this happens where maybe two theories conflict resulting in some theories being accepted long after the pioneer's death. and other general ones like the heat, storms and climatic features (because sometimes they had to travell,eg across seas/oceans). The pioneers also faced starvation i personaly dont know how but i was told some travelled abroad even to uninhabited land like darwin i didnt get anymore elaboration on this anyway. They had to rely on each other to survive the trip some times. Those beginner decisions would possibly put them in danger, such as taking the wrong route, getting stuck or not being able to control the team. well i know this is a bit mixed up but i hope it will add to what you already have.its all i can get up to. thank you. GONES

8. What did pioneers use an auger for?

An auger was used to drill holes in the earth. Especially useful for well digging. I have put below an article from Wikipedia about augers.

9. How did pioneers know or clock how many miles they traveled daily in wagon trains?

I don't know, but that's a durn good question!!!!!

10. How did pioneers in the wild west make coffee?

The coffee beans had to be roasted first, in a skillet. Then they would be put in a bag of some sort and crushed. The poll of a small camp axe or even the handle of a wagon jack would work nicely. The crushed beans were then dumped into a coffee pot filled with water and set on the fire. After the coffee had boiled, it was ready to drink, even with coffee grounds floating in it. Check out how the troops in the Civil War did it for more ideas.

11. How did the pioneers get the bugs out of their flour?

I doubt they worried about the bugs too much. They were hungry and had no choice since they didn't have any supermarkets. I think people nowadays are just too spoiled and wasteful.

12. How did the pioneers on the oregon trail get across the Rocky Mountains?

They took passes. A mountain pass is a gap between mountains. They used passes and valleys.. they didn't go over the top of the mountains.

13. How did the pioneers on the oregon trail use the axe?

Uses of an axe on the trail: *To clear a path *To chop firewood *As a last-resort weapon *To repair wagons *To build rafts and bridges to cross rivers Uses of an axe after settlement: *To clear trees for a home and farmland *To chop firewood

14. What were some Native American tribes that were violent toward the pioneers traveling west??

Indian attacks on wagon trains and settlements were not as frequent or deadly as the press of the day sensationalized them to be or that Hollywood has played for us. Most raids were to drive off cattle and horses .Most Indian nations had run ins with Whites at one time or another usually because of retaliation to threats to them or from Whites breaking treaties.So look up what peoples were along the trails and you will have the answer. Most interactions were for trade. Both sides could see each other coming for miles off on the Great Plains and would be armed.Sometimes Indians asked for a gift for passing through or camping on their land.They were offered useful items as well as whiskey.A favorite was sugar or coffee. This led some whites to see them as extortionists and others to see them as beggars. The Indian saw it as a fair trade.

15. What emotions did pioneers experience as they prepared to make the long, hard, journey west?

When you ask a question like this, take a moment to put yourself in their place and then think about how YOU would feel... the answer is really just common sense. If you were preparing to pull up stakes and leave for the west, you know you are leaving family and friends and will most probably never seen them again. Everything you have ever known, you are leaving behind. AND... you are moving on to some place that you really don't know anything about other than rumors. All those little things of every day life will change. Just putting food on the table, doing the chores, making fires, cooking, hunting and dealing with adversity is daunting TODAY... what do you think it would have been like in the 1850's? AND... it's not like they showed in the movies. That big, heavy Conestoga Wagon doesn't have a SEAT for you to ride on... nope... you will WALK the whole way.. and you know it.. because the lack of a seat SAYS you won't be riding. Every thing has been sold. If you father is a smart man, he has gotten rid of the horses and bought a pair of Oxen... if he is NOT smart, then you can expect the horses to die a few hundred miles into Kansas and you will be sitting alongside the trail, easy prey for Indians and Bandits. Like I said... THINK ABOUT IT.. and try putting yourself in their place... and THEN write your humanities project. OH... a number of people kept diaries of their trip on the Oregon Trail... and wrote BOOKS on their trip, and you can READ those books yet today.

16. My dear philosophical pioneers what is a dream to you?

A dream is not a dream until you wake up.

17. Why were there conflicts between the Native Americans and the Pioneers in the Pre Civil War Era?

Conflicts between American Indians and European settlers occured since the first arrival of the Europeans to the American continent. It was mostly over land. As the eastern indians died of disease and war, and Europeans developed permanent settlements, they looked west. Most if not all of the 48 contiguous states had been explored or settled by the Civil War, and the settlers quickly came into conflict with the indians. Most plains indians became nomadic after the introduction of the horse by the Spanish in the 16th Century, and their whole culture was based on this pattern of life. There was no ownership of land among the Indians, in the sense that whites understood it, and when bands of Indians returned to seasonal hunting grounds and fount them occupied by whites, fighting occurred.

18. I am food and will walk with the pioneers and fill their cups along the way. What am I?

a cow.

19. What was the name of the book about pioneers in a snow storm they killed their horses for shelter?

I think you may be refering to Ordeal By Hunger, by George R. Stewart. The book was about the Donner Party, which was stranded in the Sierra Mountains (not far west of Lake Tahoe) during an early snowstorm while making their way to California. It is a fascinating read.

20. Where have all the pioneers of Yahoo Answers Philippines Gone?
