IV. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each
question.
In the early 1800s, to reach the jump-off point for the West, a family from
the East of the United States could either buy steamboat passage to Missouri
-for, themselves, their wagons, and their livestock or-as happened more oftensimply pile everything into a wagon, hitch up a team, and begin their overland
trek right in Their front yard.
Along the macadamized roads and turnpikes east of the Missouri River,
travel was comparatively fast, camping easy, and supplies plentiful. Then, in
one river town or another, the neophyte emigrants would, pause to lay in
provisions. For outfitting purposes, the town of Independence had been
preeminent ever since 1827. but the rising momentum of pioneer emigration
had produced some rival jump-off points. Westport and Fort Leavenworth
flourished a few miles upriver. St. Joseph had sprung up 55 miles to the
northwest; in fact, emigrants who, went to Missouri by riverboat could save four
days on the trail by staying on the paddle-wheelers to St. Joe before striking
overland.
At whatever jump-off point they chose, the emigrants studied guidebooks
and directions, asked questions of others as green as themselves, and made
their final decisions about outfitting. They had various, sometimes conflicting,
options. For example, either pack animals or two-wheel carts or wagons could
be used for the overland crossing. A family man usually chose the wagon. It
was the costliest and slowest of the three, but it provided space and shelter for
children and for a wife who likely as not was pregnant. Everybody knew that a
top-heavy covered wagon might blow over in a prairie wind or be overturned by
mountain rocks, that it might mire in river mud or sink to its hubs in desert
sand-but maybe if those things happened on this trip, they would happen to
someone else. Anyway, most pioneers, with their farm background, were used
to wagons.

When Daniel Boone died peacefully in bed in his son Nathan's elegant
stone Missouri farmhouse on September 26, 1820, the surge of emigrants
along the Oregon Trail was still a generation away. But Boone already
exemplified the pioneer at his best. He was neither the physical giant (five feet
nine) nor the innocent child of nature that legend has made of him. He was an
intelligent, soft spoken family man who cherished the same wife for 57 years.
lie befriended Indians, preferred company to solitude, and when he told his
wife it was time to move because a newcomer had settled some 70 miles
away, he was joking.
Pennsylvania-born, Boone was one of 11 children in a family of Quakers
who migrated to North Carolina. There Boone was recruited at age of 40 to
undertake a scheme designed to open up Kentucky to settlers and establish it
as a 14th colony. He arranged a deal by which the Cherokees sold 20 million
acres for $20,000 worth of goods to Boone's employers, the Transylvania
Company. It was all fair and square the Indians had an attorney, an
interpreter, and the sound advice of their squaws. The deal completed, Boone
led a party from Tennessee through the Cumberland Gap, hacked out the
Wilderness Road, and set up a townBoonesboro-and a government Elected a
legislator, he introduced on the first session's first day a bill to protect game
against wanton slaughter and a second bill to "improve the breed of horses."
He got 2,000 acres for his work, but after the Revolution-in which Boone won

considerable fame as a militia commander-the scheme of the Transylvania

Company was declared illegal and Boone lost his land. Undaunted, he staked
out more claims-and lost them because he impatiently neglected to register his
deeds. Ever hopeful, he accepted an invitation from Spanish-held Missouri to
come and settle there and bring others with him. The Spanish gave him 8,500
acres and made him a judge. But the Louisiana Purchase, which embraced
Missouri, again left him but not his children-landless. Old and broke, Boone
cheerfully continued hunting and trapping long after his hands . Shortly before
he died, he was talking knowledgeably with young men about the joys to be
experienced in settling California.

considerable fame as a militia commander-the scheme of the Transylvania
Company was declared illegal and Boone lost his land. Undaunted, he staked
out more claims-and lost them because he impatiently neglected to register his
deeds. Ever hopeful, he accepted an invitation from Spanish-held Missouri to
come and settle there and bring others with him. The Spanish gave him 8,500
acres and made him a judge. But the Louisiana Purchase, which embraced
Missouri, again left him but not his children-landless. Old and broke, Boone
cheerfully continued hunting and trapping long after his hands . Shortly before
he died, he was talking knowledgeably with young men about the joys to be
experienced in settling California.
