Also, since the Oregon Trail is in the west, and (judging by post times) the Sassy is too, it should be easier to find out who they are.

In addition to that, there was that bit about time travel:

I think the Oregon Trail is a good idea because in 1846, the Oregon Treaty was made (I think)
EDIT: I think Josh and Miggy is referencing Josh and Miguel Cotto like texas said because they are probably the ones who beat up people.

There's another boxer in the Cotto family named Abner Cotto, who is overshadowed by Josh and Miguel accomplishment-wise. His boxing nickname is Pin. I have no idea if it's related though...

Wait, it does say beaten, not beaten up. Is it just my imagination or did it change?

Welcome back. As the wagon migrates to Fort Laramie, a mirror observes a guy walking toward the Platte River. After all, moving wagons must be a very exhausting endeavour. Suddenly a big earthquake comes forth near New Madrid and brings up enough water on the Platte to cause a flood. I, seeking my chance to strike first in this contest, drags the man into the flooding waters and drowns him.

whythelongface has died of drowning.

As the wagon arrives at Fort Laramie, they receive from the army commander a rain can with a note (because apparently Fort Laramie loves rain cans for some reason). The note says simply 23-11-23-26-12-9-5-19-3-3.

48 hours.

According to google translate, "miro" means "he looked".

My Ancient Latin's a bit rusty, but I think there's a word like that, too.

If each number represents a letter, then the last two letters must be the same, and the name should probably have 10 letters (ignoring symbols/numbers), although the first idea might be irrelevant if the letters to the name are jumbled...
I'll try to think of any name that fit the descriptions

Update: Cherrie_Lan has 10 letters, with two sets of repeating letters (R and E), similar to the two repeating numbers in the clue (23 and 3)
It's probably a bit early to protect, but we still have four more to go, so I protect Cherrie_Lan based on my given reasoning
