addition to the children's room Of Buck

the wagon, yoked in pairs to double
tongue, which itself is attached to a
perfectly pivoting front axle. The oxen
follow the out-rider, booted, mustached
and mounted on horse complete to

drivers seat rides the pioneer woman,
dressed in homespun, black hair neatly
parted in the middle, in her hand a
whip to guide the oxen. The covered
wagon contains stove, chest, skillet and
kettle, all separate items and movable,
and outside on the left are a leather
hinged box, from which swings wood
