The snapshot of the wagon train carries a lot of information and brings up many feelings.
Looks like there are 10 oxen per tandem unit. They never would have gotten by a PETA checkpoint.
15 miles a day wasn't too bad considering.
So they were freighters, not families, a job not migration.
I wonder if the goods were appreciated when they got to Santa Fe.
And if the boots were up to the walk.
I think it will make my Sunday seem pretty comfy.
