Wagon master : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wagon master :: ''for the 1950 John Ford film, see Wagon Master'' A wagon master was the person hired to oversee the transportation of a group of wagons from one place to another. ==In The Old West== In the old west the wagon master was hired to oversee shipments of cargo or mail from one place to another, but usually when we talk about a wagon master we think of those who were responsible of assisting groups of immigrants or pioneers from the eastern portion of the U.S. to the western regions of the U.S. A group of wagons traveling together were referred to as a “train”. The trip across our nation by wagon was long and very difficult. Typically, a wagon train would travel at around two miles an hour, which would only permit the emigrants to average ten miles a day. Therefore the 2,000 mile journey from Missouri to California or Oregon would take about five to six months depending on weather or other difficulties.
