“Wagons Ho.” Most of the pioneers that settled the west traveled by wagon. The wagon trains of Conestogas and Prairie Schooners must have been a sight to see as their white canvas tops rolled across the prairies. Today’s show is an homage to these pioneer wagons that played such an important role in American western history.
