Pioneer's riding a carriage




This is a picture that i drew from my [Pioneer Life] Book
This is what the words from the book beside the picture said:

Summer was a busy time for the family's working on their farms. This is why the early settlers did not travel much in the summertimes.

And theres more...

There also was a few roads in New France. Because each farm was closer to a river, birch-bark canoes were often used to travel by water. Heavy goods were carried on a raft made of wood with a sail to catch the wind.

And more...

On the farm, the farmer used a cart or a sled pulled by a horse to move heavy bulky things such as wood or hay.People traveling long distances often rode in open carriage called a caleche. This light and speedy carriage could be pulled by a single horse. It's large wheels helped it pass easily through mud and over holes and ruts along the rough roads.

And thats all...
