Topic/question posted on Feb 24, 2014 by Laurel Rhoads

What was travel like during the 1840's in the United States?
In the story the author describes travel as "very difficult".  Use examples from the text to describe travel conditions and modes of travel.

Travel was extremely difficult because there were no "trains, planes or automobiles."  People had two optioins wagons or boats.  A wagon would be extremely uncomfortable without a road and the weather could cause damage and uncomfortable conditons.  Similarily, a boat would be subject to weather conditions making travel unsafe and subject to big waves and a lot of roking back and forth.
