The Conestoga wagon is a heavy, broad wheeled covered freight carrier used extensively during the Westward Expansion in the late 17 and 1800s. It was large enough to transport loads up to 7-8 tons and was drawn by either 4-8 mules or 4-6 oxen. Select this link to view our Hunting Ornaments.
What is a Stagecoach?
A stagecoach is a type of four wheeled enclosed passenger and or mail coach, strongly sprung and drawn by four horses, widely used before the introduction of railway transport. The stagecoach was first developed in the British Isles during the 1500’s, and only died out in the early 1900’s in the United States. Coaching inns opened up throughout Europe to accommodate stagecoach passengers. Shakespeare’s first plays were staged at coaching inns. The stagecoach was vital in the colonization of North America.
