Oh, I forgot about your wagons question. Yes, the chuck wagons went with the long cattle drives when they were taking the cattle to market from Texas up to Kansas or farther North, it took months because with herds of cattle they only went about 10 miles each day, sometimes less.
So the chuck wagons were the food wagons with a cook who prepared food for the cowboys. Here is an authentic photo of a chuckwagon and it's cook. They always called the cook "Cookie" lol.
Cookie for a cook. That's cool...
That wagon travels ling distance? It looks faint. I wonder how long the travel is that such wagon would last.
Howdy macoolette! Oh, those wagons were heavy and built very well, they lasted for years and years. They traveled with them for hundreds of miles each trip which lasted for months each trip.
