The Covered Wagon

Denny E. Barnes level-deluxe 12/5/2008 7:22:51 AM

The Conestoga wagons were called prairie schooners because from a distance the Conestoga wagon looked like a ship sailing slowly across the green prairie. #1046696

Our faithful tour guide!!! Thank you Denny. These are great! -Laura

P.S. (Typical 1905 conversation among the women folk -"I cried when we had to dump my beautiful trunk and bedroom furniture overboard").

At least she got to sit in the wagon ...and cry!...Ha! #6855814

Thanks Everyone for the nice comments, we'll continue tomorrow, I hope. We got a phone call saying our power is going to be off over night so got to get the generator out and see if it still works. It's below freezing here at night so it had better work..LOL..

Description

The front wheels of the wagon were smaller than the back wheels. This helped the wagon turn. Underneath the back wheels there was a bucket full of grease hanging from the axle. This was used to make the wheels run smoothly.
