Another Wagon Train episode

Jay Silverheels was in the episode I just watched. He was a good Indian, slew the bad Indians left and right with his sidekick, Noah Beery.

Where did they get the empty wagons for New Lovers Who Meet on the Trail to drive? Do they have empties tied on behind?

I was hoping this thread was going to be about the new Star Trek series.
I am disappoint.

There were forts at different points along both the California and Oregon trails. I imagine they had some used wagons for sale at discount prices (probably salvaged after the families traveling in them had been massacred by hostiles).

Or salvaged from all the families who died of Dysentery. I’ve seen the Oregon Trail game…

“Only driven by a little old lady who died of dysentery!”

“But they are prairie miles!”

“The latest model from St Louis. Previous owner was a Mormon who never went over three miles an hour.”
