Amazing Oregon Trail Swales in Wyoming

Just knowing that there ARE young people who are interested in and KNOW History gives so many older folk hope. Thanks for being one for the young who care.

This young woman is a terrific educator. Excellent, clear, succinct, informative, upbeat, thorough, well-researched. Well done!!!!. The dress and boots totally fit the video theme too. Superb.

Thank you Kylie, my 5th g grandfather was Lewis Ingram, he was two when his father, James W. Ingram, Elva Ingram would have been my aunt had she survived. An interesting family story is that Lewis and his sister were saved by Indians. The family along with the Aiken Train (the families were connected by marriage) reached The Dalles, the two children were in a wagon box being drifted down the Columbia river when the wagon box broke loose and was swept away by the currents. Two Indians raced in out in a canoe and saved them, I wouldn't be here if it were not for two brave Indians.

A job well done Kylie. Thank you for sharing the history there.

What a sweet and respectful presenter! Thanks. RSA.

Thank you kylie, Randy and the city of Douglas! Appreciate your great vision and appreciation of the past.

Kylie, you are a wonderful narrator ! Your excitement and respect for American History is very admirable. The early settlers were incredibly tough, and endured more than we can even imagine. Well done in bringing this story to us. Thank you :-)

Thank you Kylie McCormick for this excellent presentation.

Very professionally done Miss Kylie!

So cool! We are all so appreciative of the efforts made to both preserve such historical landmarks, and educate the rest of us that simply want to know the history. CHEERS!

Thanks for this informative video. I really enjoy learning about our history from the 1800s as well as other time periods. It’s great to see those markers that preserve a part of our history.

Thank you! My 3rd great grand father died in 1878 at Glenn Ferry. He is buried beside a 24 year old girl at the entrance of someone's property what is today private property. Wish I could visit the grave.

Good job and well spoken.

Thanks to the Oregon-California Trail Association. I wondered what made a swale. Found an NPS site explaining that originally the wagons left ruts. Over time the ruts erode leaving wide depressions, sort of like ditches. Those are the swales.

It’s great to hear that people are making efforts to protect what I view as American history. I live on the East Coast and years ago I took my family on a car trip across the country and we were privileged to see some of this history. To see those wagon wheel marks so many years later is amazing. It makes the past come alive when you’re there. Great job with your presentation. Take care

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video for us all to enjoy!

Excellent job young lady!!!

thanks Kylie, a swell swale indeed!

You could not get more ADORABLE!

Thank you for increasing my awareness of these immigrant trails. Although I live close to South Pass WY I have not spent any significant amount of time searching out these trails. I do marvel at the determination of the settlers to cross the country and face enormous hardships and risks to cross such inhospitable territory. When the weather warms I plan to get out and do some exploring, and maybe I'll find a great guide like Kylie out there to tell me what I'm seeing.
