Wagon Train
Westward caravan series
A wagon train is a line of covered wagons traveling together, especially the caravans that carried settlers westward across North America in the 19th century.
Traveling in groups provided protection and shared resources for the months-long journey: The wagon train set out from Missouri in early spring.
The formation remains iconic in American frontier mythology.
