The Covered Wagon. c ompiled by Stephenie Flora copyright 2007. T he covered wagon used to cross the plains to the west was a smaller, lighter version of the big Conestoga wagon used in the east.The cloth top that protected people and possessions from extreme weather conditions also was the prime reason that the wagon was sometimes referred to as the prairie schooner. toolbox is on the wagon's one side, the brake lever and water bucket on the other. Hanging from the rear axle was the grease bucket, filled with a mixture of animal fat and tar. It was used to keep the hubs of the wheels greased.
A wagon train was a group of covered wagons that went west. The wagons would travel in a straight single line. The wagon train looked like a slow-moving train. If the trail was wide enough they would spread out to get away from the dust. At night the wagon master would have the wagons form a big circle for protection from hostile Indians, marauders and other dangers.
