ox wagon
Prairie schooner alternative
An ox wagon is a large, heavy cart designed to be pulled by oxen rather than horses.
These wagons were essential for hauling freight and families across difficult terrain, particularly during westward expansion in North America and settler movements in southern Africa: The ox wagon creaked slowly across the veldt.
The slow, steady pace of oxen made them better suited than horses for long journeys with heavy loads.
