1. What Is A Wagon Train? By: Abby and Dayne

2. A wagon train was a group of covered wagons that went west. They would travel in a straight single line.

3. They also looked like a slow moving train. If the trail was wide they would spread out to get away from the dust.

4. At night the wagon master would have the wagons form a big circle for protection from hostile Indians, marauders and other dangers.

5. Sometimes the children would play inside the wagon circle after dinner and just before bed time.
