Along the pioneer trail, Mormon pioneers would communicate by leaving notes to passengers behind them written on buffalo skulls. The skulls would then be placed on the side of the trail so that those traveling along the trail would see them. These notes could vary from notifications of where to obtain food and water to messages to individuals.
