At the end of the day, we were educated about the hardships of traveling to the frontier, right? Maybe.
We learned more than we ever understood in school but most of the time we were focused on high scores and worried about how many of our original travelers would make it to Oregon.
I am still relatively uncertain about what some of these diseases are or when their vaccines were developed but I will still, oddly, smile when I read the words "[So and so] has died of dysentary." Yeah, it's sick and twisted but the nostalgia is infectious too.
