This crazy house in Alexandria is super skinny. It was built in the 1800's and is called the Spite House because it was built in the alley between 2 homes to spite the people that used the alleyway to walk through.
This diagram shows that the greatest mass migration in North American history started in 1812 and ended around 1859. This journey taken by pioneers was almost 2000 miles long through rugged wilderness to chart a new destiny ending on the Pacific Slope. It was quite moving being reminded what the emigrants endured in crossing the US from Independence, Missouri to Oregon Country.
