How did pioneers travel west on the Oregon and Mormon trails?
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.
How long did it take for the pioneers to move west?
The Mormon Pioneers moved west on the Mormon trail between 1845 and 1870, when the train came through and became the more common mode of transportation.

After the railroad, Mormons continued to move west, but usually came individually as the need for organized companies no longer existed, so the numbers are harder to pinpoint.
