The most common form of transportation for pioneers among the Oregon and Mormon trails was by wagon. Usually wagons were pulled by a team of oxen although horses, mules, and cattle were sometimes used. Those looking for quick travel or who were traveling alone with few belongings might take just a horse, perhaps with an extra pack animal to carry supplies. The poorest pioneers travelled by foot (many without shoes!), some were able to get a wagon-owner to carry their supplies, and some had to carry their supplies alone. Many poor Mormon pioneers used what was called a 'handcart' - a shortened two-wheeled wagon which they had to pull or push themselves.
A famous route west for pioneers was the Wilderness Road, made by Daniel Boone and others.
