Question

pioneering
pioneers, people who settled the western
territory of the united states, had to make
careful plans before beginning their
journey. they had to pack enough food
and water, clothing, and even supplies for
their livestock.
pioneers often traveled in groups, known
as caravans, so they could help each other
if anything went wrong. at night these
caravans circled the wagons in order to
protect against animals and native
americans. weather was also a big
danger for pioneers because they could
get dehydrated in the heat, or freeze in
the cold.

before their journey west?
food
games for the children
