Jacob crossed the Missouri River at Council Bluffs, Iowa on May 17, 1852 and started across what was then called the Great American Desert. Resser traveled on the north side of the Platte River all the way to Independence Rock, Wyoming. In western Wyoming he took what was known as the Sublette cutoff. Jacob arrived in Portland, Oregon Territory in late September 1852. From there he made his way south to the future town of Corvallis where he practiced his trade as a tinsmith.
