There is no place in the West that pilgrims could have trailed past that would allow this angle and depth of field together. By 1885, the big trains were finished. Four or five wagons were more normal. The land rush in Oklahoma might have seen numbers like this, but that AIN'T The Cherokee Strip.This 1885 picture shows a massive wagon train of American homesteaders traveling west
