I’m working on a story about the Wild West. I need to do some research, and I’m listing 20 questions to get me started.
- How did they travel and why? (Horse, oxen, wagon,)
- What did they take with them?
- What roads did they take, what pathway/states?
- What hardships did they face?
- What type of people went?
- On average, how many people were in a wagon train?
- Did people travel within a wagon train always, or sometimes alone?
- Who settled the West?
- What was the land like before they came?
- Why did they travel west?
- What benefits were there?
- How old were the people traveling?
- What animals did they take with them?
- What things did they do without?
- What was necessary to take?
- What problems did they face with animals?
- How did the form communities?
- How important was religion to them?
- What clothes did they wear?
- What foods did they prepare?
