WHAT DOES WAGON TRAIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

wagon train

Wagon train

A wagon train is a group of wagons traveling together. In a military context, a baggage train was the wagon train that followed an army with supplies and amunition. In the American West, individuals traveling across the plains in covered wagons banded together for mutual assistance, as is reflected in numerous films and television programs about the region, such as Audie Murphy's Tumbleweed James Cruze's silent film The Covered Wagon and Ward Bond and John McIntire's Wagon Train series on NBC and later ABC. Although most trains elected a captain and created bylaws, in reality the captain had little authority. His role was largely confined to getting everyone moving in the morning and selecting when and where to camp at night. One of the most famous wagon train trails was the Oregon Trail which had a span of over 2,000 miles. Although wagon trains are associated with the Old West, the Trekboers of South Africa also traveled in caravans of covered wagons.
