Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, Conestoga wagons were seen on many major roads, such as the National Road, hauling freight to and from cities. Many of the eighteenth century wagons were even used to haul freight to George Washington's troops at Valley Forge. These heavy two ton wagons were pulled by six "Conestoga" draft horses and driven by teamsters. Teamsters were usually farmers who were hired to deliver and transport goods, such as tobacco, plows, tools, and dry goods. These men were very skilled at driving their horses. By using a jerk line, they were able to control their six horses with only one line and one "jerk" on the lead horse's bit. Conestoga wagons were made by three craftsmen, which consisted of the blacksmith, the wainwright, and the wheelwright. The blacksmith made the iron work, the wainwright made the wagon bed, and the wheelwright made the wheels. Throughout America's history, the Conestoga wagon was one of the most necessary modes of transportation for goods and freight.

This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conestoga wagon was instrumental in the transportation of goods and people for both consumer and military purposes. Originating in England, early Pennsylvania craftsmen perfected the vehicle's design for use in the colonies, especially the roads of Pennsylvania. German craftsmen in Lancaster and Berks Counties were best known for their wagons, and soon they were traversing the Keystone State, hauling farm goods and supplies between towns and markets. Of course, these wagons then play a key role in the westward migration.

This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents both nationally significant objects and ordinary items from everyday life to provide insight into 19th century American society, showing readers how the production, design, function, and use of these objects can inform our understanding of the period. Artifacts from 19th Century America examines a broad array of objects representing various aspects of 19th century American society. The objects have been chosen to illuminate daily life in a number of categories including cooking, entertainment, grooming, clothing and accessories, health, household items, religious life, work, and education. The book's 53 entries include a brief introduction to the background of the object, when and why it was made, and who used it, followed by a detailed description of the object itself. Finally, each entry provides a deep dive into the object's significance and how the object reveals clues about the social, political, economic, and intellectual life of the society in which it was produced and utilized. Students and general readers alike will not only learn about the time period but also learn to use the skills of material culture theory and method, including how to draw meaningful conclusions from each object about their historical context and significance.
