PLEASE HELP! I am doing a history report on a pioneer and i need to know how long it would take a family to travel in a horse-drawn carrage from Maine to San Fransisco, California.
Podobne:
- How Many Hours Will It Take U When U Travel By Airplane From London To California? I have to get to san diego california immediately. How long is the travel time if i am here in london, england....
- Where Can I Buy A Travel Guide Book Of California In Chinese? Looking for a travel book for California written in Chinese. Prefer on-line site to purchase, or if not a store in the San Francisco area....
- Is It Safe To Travel A Long Distance By Car During The First Trimester? My husband and I plan to visit his family by driving from California to Montana. It will take us about 2 days each direction. I will be 7-8 weeks pregnant......
I found this :
Mileage the wagon train travels each day:
The wagon train will usually cover between 10 and 18 miles daily. This will depend on the location for the evening campsites. Average daily mileage is about 15 miles per day, with the most miles traveled in the morning when it is cooler.
Total estimated distance from Bangor Maine to San Francisco : 3332.00 miles
So, travelling approx 15 miles day, it would take almost 222 days to make the trip. Or 7 1/2 months
A horse drawn carriage might take slightly less time than a wagon, but it’s a close approximationhttp://covered-wagon-train.com/press/nex…http://www.mapquest.com/ (distance map)
I hope this helps
A heavy loaded waggon drawn by oxen would be far slower than a carrage with very little cargo drawn by a team of horses. Mules however would be by far the best draft animals in the dry regions they passed through being far tougher and stronger than horses.
A Super Long Time…..
