The chores women had varied by their family situation, but for the most part women were in charge of looking out for the children and babies (although often the older children cared for the younger children), gathering firewood and buffalo chips for fuel (the children assisted with this), starting and maintaining the fires, gathering edible plants along the trail, cooking meals, preparing and preserving game meats shot by the men and boys, mending clothing, setting up and mending tents, mending bedding, mending wagon covers, helping to care for the animals (again children often did much of that), and driving the wagon teams or pulling handcarts - especially if a husband or older son was not present.
