The pioneers used lard on the burns. If the burns were really bad most often the person died. There were a lot of dangers on the journey and burns were the least of them. People died in flooded rivers, falling off of mountain passes, disease, wounds of various sorts, and childbirth. The women and children walked beside the wagon the whole way and the children would collect buffalo chips for the evening fires.
