More travel information, this time on wagon trains.
"On many days the wagon train would only travel ten to fifteen
miles. On rainy and muddy days they might
only travel one mile! It would take them five to seven days just
to travel the distance we can drive a car in
a single hour."
This is a quote from Pioneers West
