How many wagons were in the wagons trains?
Some wagon trains were very large. The 1843 migration had 120 wagons. Others were very small, with only three to five wagons. The size of the wagon train usually depended on how fast the group of people wanted to travel and how well they got along with each other. Sometimes groups formed large wagon trains when they wanted security and help from others to get past a difficult part of the trail, and then they’d split up later.
