	Wagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wagon (in British English waggon) or dray is a wheeled vehicle, ordinarily with four wheels, usually pulled by an animal, or animals, such as horses, mules or oxen and used for transport of heavy goods.
		Wagons can have side walls to retain the load it is holding, or may consist of a flat bed.
		While wagons are commonly used as toys for children or carrying heavy loads in the garden, the history of the wagons dates back centuries.

	Prairie Schooners
		Conestoga wagons were large, heavy, and had beds shaped somewhat like boats, with angled ends and a floor that sloped to the middle so barrels wouldn't roll out when the wagon was climbing or descending a hill.
		The wagon box, or bed, was made of hardwoods to resist shrinking in the dry air of the plains and deserts the emigrants had to cross.
		Nonetheless, many emigrants took to soaking their wagon wheels in rivers and springs overnight, as it was not unheard of for the dry air to shrink the wood so much that the iron tires would roll right off the wheels during the day.
