What type of animal did they use to pull giant wagons across the prairies during the gold rush?
Answer #1 was "a horse." I've read that horses were better for smoother roads and shorter distances. For pulling distances, they used oxen and mules. This practice occurred for several decades surrounding "the gold rush" (assuming you are talking about the 1849 California rush) and was not motivated only by gold rushes. Throughout the 1800s, settlers settled all points west and sometimes travelled in wagon trains of various sizes. I don't know how many of their wagons would be considered "giant," though.

The Ballarat gold rush ended because the gold which was able to be reached easily was mined out.
