What was the transportation like in colonial new jersey?
Transportation was only a few ways. By foot, horse, wagon, or boat. To travel meant that you needed several days if you were going further than 5 or 10 miles from home. To travel by horse to go 30 miles would take about 3 days one way. A horse could only travel about 10 miles a day so to go round trip on a 30 mile trip would take 6 days of travel. That doesn’t include any busy that was needed to be done.
