Great Platte River Road

The Great Platte River Road was the convergence point for the Trapper's Trail, the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, the California Trail, the Pony Express route, and the military road from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Laramie across Nebraska. The Road, which extended from the Second Fort Kearny to Fort Laramie, was utilized primarily from 1841 to 1866. Currently regarded as a sort of superhighway of its times, the road has been referred to as "the grand corridor of America's westward expansion." 〔Mattes, M. (1987) ''The Great Platte River Road.'' University of Nebraska Press. p 6.〕〔("More About the Great Platte River Road" ), Nebraska State Historical Society. Retrieved 2008-03-28.〕
==About==
Robert Stuart, an explorer with the Pacific Fur Company, was one of the first European Americans to explore the potential for the Road in the 1810s. Eventually the Road started in several places along the Missouri River, including (from north to south) Omaha, Council Bluffs, Nebraska City, St. Joseph and Kansas City. Each of these separate routes came together near Fort Kearny in the middle of the Nebraska Territory. For those coming from Omaha and Council Bluffs the Road traversed the north side of the river. Those coming from St. Joseph and Kansas City generally used the south side of the river. At some point along the Platte the travellers would cross to the north side, frequently at great hazard, in order to follow the road north to Fort Laramie.〔Mattes, M. (1987) ''The Great Platte River Road.'' University of Nebraska Press. Chapter VII.〕 In the years of 1849, 1850 and 1852 traffic was so heavy along the Road that virtually all feed was stripped from both sides of the river. The lack of food and the threat of disease made the journey along the Road a deadly gamble.〔''(The Pioneer Story ).'' LDS.org. Retrieved 2006-05-22.〕 250,000 travelers followed the Road along the South Platte River during its peak years of 1841 to 1866.
