First sentence: Between 1830 and 1900 more than 350,000 men, women, and children packed up their belongings in America's first mobile home, the prairie schooner, and settled down to the grueling five-month, 2,000 mile journey across sun-baked prairies, through raging rivers, and over treacherous snowcapped mountains along the Oregon Trail.
