Description
The covered wagon or prairie schooner, was a popular frontier method of transportation. Like it's larger brother, the Conestoga wagon, the covered wagon was made of wooden frames and covered with waterproofed with either paint or oil.
There were many advantages of traveling by prairie schooner. It was a type of rolling home. It offered protection from the weather and from Indian attacks. There were also disadvantages. The running gear was the part of the wagon that was least reliable. There were many reports of broken running gears along the journey. If a wheel broke, many times the wagon was abandoned if it could not be repaired.
