Here is an interesting 5 minute video explaining a bit of history about the Oregon Trail and the challenges of taking a photograph in 1859. It's so much easier today!

Thank you Chris.
So much to like about this short video.
It is important to get a reality check (about photography and the hardships) and a history lesson at the same time.
Thanks,
Clive
