There were three ways for shipping items and people. It was by ship, steamer, or railroad . By 1860 the railroad went east to the west coast taking passengers and goods through the central hub of Chicago.

An Abazin is a member of a race of people living in the northwest Caucasus in the early 19th century.
In the early 19th century there was no telegraph service, virtually no mechanized engines for travel, virtually no steam powered ships or locomotives, no electric lights, and no indoor plumbing.

Generally speaking, travel from one country to another in the early 1900's were the following: * horseback; * horse drawn carriage; * ships; * railroad; As the century progressed the early automobile was also a possible means of transportation.
In the early nineteenth century, the hope of of owning land of their own lured many people to travel west to Ohio and Indiana.
