I'm not aware of the schooner wagon being faster. However, the difference I am aware of is the schooner wagon used no draft animals to pull it. Instead it had a sail and the wind provided the force to propel the wagon, much like a ship at sea.

What are the parts of a prairie schooner?

A prairie schooner is a type of covered wagon used by pioneers in the 19th century. It consists of several key parts, including a wooden wagon box, canvas cover, wagon wheels, axles, and a wagon tongue for steering. The wagon box is typically made of wooden planks and serves as the main compartment for carrying cargo and passengers. The canvas cover provides protection from the elements, while the wagon wheels and axles allow for mobility and transportation on rough terrain. The wagon tongue is attached to the front of the wagon and is used to steer and guide the prairie schooner.
