Something I have been wondering about for some time is if there has ever been a "deep dive" study of the firearms employed on the Oregon Trail and Latter-day Saint Pioneer Trek (also known as the Mormon Trail in some literature and sources). I would imagine there has to be extant journals, letters, sales records, painted depictions, et al., that gives some insight into the commonly used firearms for hunting and defense.
Anyway, just curious if anyone has ever come across said and/or did their own primary research. Thank you.
