	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.

	Information about Wagon Trains (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Many of the wagons used in wagon trains in the mid 1800's were simply farm wagons, not at all like the heavy, sway-backed Consetoga wagons used in Pennsylvania at that time.
		Because these simple wagons had no brakes (and, of course, no springs) the teamsters learned how to tie chains around the rear wheels to lock them, and thus provide a drag when the teams started down a steep slope.
		Some with such mechanism, homemade or purchased, was used by many wagon trains to determine their rate of advance.
