In 1843, Marcus Whitman helped to lead the first great wagon train on the ancient Native American trail that followed the Platte River through the land that would later become Nebraska. It was the first leg of the pioneer’s journey that would take a total of 5 months and end in the Walla Walla Valley of present-day Oregon. The wagon train, which was later called the Great Migration of 1843, was made up of 100 wagons. It carried 1,000 pioneers.
