what transportation would you bring on your wagon on the oregon trail
The first large wagon train of pioneers bound for Oregon was in 1843. The last wagon trains came in the 1880's, when other methods of transportation (such as railroads) were developed in the West.Oxen were used because they could pull heavy loads.Oxen could survive on eating the grass along the way.ome wagon trains were led by a trail guide that was hired to show the way. Often these guides had been fur trappers and traders for many years and had traveled the Oregon Trail many times. In some wagon trains, all the members voted to have one person be the captain or leader.
