How did a pioneer family prepare to move West? What routes might they take? What types of vehicles might they use for transportation?
The family would first buy a covered wagon and the supplies they would need. They would load the wagon with tools, food (flour, salt, bacon, etc.) blankets, cooking utensils, and the family Bible. They would also tie livestock to the wagon. They would probably travel west to Pittsburg where they sold their wagon and bought a flatboat to cross the Ohio River. Late pioneers might follow the Erie Canal. Most pioneers would travel in covered wagons and flatboats.
