[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 322412, member: 367"] It had to have been a challenge but way easier and faster than ox cart, they thought they had it made but little did they know. Funny that they hauled the locomotive to Canada and that's what put them out of business. Another interesting tidbit is, there has been an ongoing lawsuit for many years about the land "deal" that was made. The trial is next month in DC. I read about it in the history column in a local newspaper once too. The way I understand it is there were some shady dealing between tribal leaders and the tribes and the decedents are blaming it on the white man. Take a look at the carving in one of the peace pipes in the picture, I always wondered what kind of tobacco they smoked in those things.
