A DAY ON THE TRAIL...Part 1

What served as an alarm clock on the trail?

  Rifles shot into the air-at 4:00 A.M.! If you were a pioneer, your day started before sunrise. Before the wagons were on their way at 7:00 A.M., there was much to do. In the darkness, the women and older girls began building fires.       They cooked breakfast, took care of the babies and young children, cleaned up, pulled down tents, and packed the wagons. At the same time, men and boys rounded up cattle,   yoked the oxen, and went hunting. Younger children helped gather fuel for the fire, fed the animals, and milked the cows.

How would you like to do all those chores--before school???

Someone must have had the job of calming the horses after the gun shot! Very interesting. I have been reading a Christian series about pioneers that I found at our local library. They are very sweet books. They are called the Red River of the North Series by Lauraine Snelling. I look forward to your very interesting posts. Bless you..........Denise (prairiemom)

great info
