Captain Bonneville began his expedition at [[Fort Osage]] in Missouri on 1 May 1832 following what became the [[Oregon Trail]], arriving at Green River in August 1832. Captain Bonneville's expedition consisted of 110 men and 28 wagons and it was an experiment in taking wagons over the Continental Divide for the first time.
