Westward Expansion Illustration - Pioneers on the Oregon Trail #3811271 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed black-and-white illustration captures key moments of 19th-century westward migration: one pioneer repairs a broken wagon wheel while another tends a campfire; a lone rider on horseback surveys the plains; and a second wagon, labeled “CALIFORNIA OR BUST,” moves forward with two horses pulling it. The scene evokes the grit, hope, and hardship of the Oregon and California Trails.
