SENECA — A trek along the Oregon Trail was an arduous and often dangerous journey.
An Oregon Trail presentation given to the Grant School board during their Wednesday, April 17 meeting at Seneca School by Seneca Elementary students highlighted both the dangers and joys of the more than 2,100 mile wagon route from Independence Missouri to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
Three Seneca fourth and fifth graders, Avah Sapp, Nox Long and Blaine James read three-part journal entries outlining the beginning, middle and end of a trip along the Oregon Trail as told in the first person. All of the journal entries mentioned accidents, death and hunger, all of which were common occurrences on the trail.
