The Western Wagon Train: Part-One, The Routes West, Wagons, Prairie Schooners & How They Were Packed

What were the routes of the western emigrant? What kinds of wagons were used? How were they made and was there standard wagon-wheel spacing? How were they packed and what would all this cost?

That looks like Scott's Bluff.  We were there in 2012, you can drive right up on top of the Bluff.
