Answer 1

Answer:

What happened to pioneer John Bidwell, who settled in California?

Explanation:

Throughout the 1840s, the California route began to be used sporadically by the first settlers. The first group that used the route was headed by John Bidwell, who left in 1841 with the first organized group, in order to reach northern California through the Humboldt River.

Despite failing to reach California carts, the Bidwell-Bartleson group managed to travel with the cattle along the Humboldt River, which would become the main artery to California in the following years.

The answer is: He did not manage to get to California, but he did open a new artery to California for the following years.

Answer 2

Your answer is too broad, so I will just explain who is John Bidwell, who was known throughout California as a pioneer, farmer, philanthropist, politician, and abolitionist. After emigrating to California and working as a rancher/farmer, and gold prospector during the California Gold Rush, he fought in the Mexican-American war. He served in the California Senate and Congress, and was a delegate of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. He ran for President of the United States as a member of the Prohibition Party in 1892 and came fourth place.
