The Great Osage | Native Americans, especially those of the Midwest and plains of the United States, were especially instrumental in the formation of some of the longer lasting and useful trails. Over time those trails became well-worn and used by pioneers and settlers as well because they were easy to find and somewhat easier to travel. The Great Osage Trail (also called the Old Wire Road) is an example of such a path and contains parts of Route 66, Route 24 as well as the first section of the Santa Fe Trail. This trail was especially useful to settlers and pioneers to the western parts of the United States as it was developed. Latter-day Saints followed portions of the Great Osage Trail as they pushed handcarts and walked to the Salt Lake Valley. | ||
