Pioneers used the Conestoga wagon for westward migration due to its sturdy design and capacity to carry large loads over rough terrain. The wagon's curved shape helped it navigate difficult landscapes while protecting the contents from the elements. Additionally, its sturdy wheels and suspension system made it suitable for long journeys across varying landscapes. This versatility made the Conestoga wagon a preferred choice for transporting families, supplies, and equipment during the westward expansion.

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.
