this is the lesson
Some people walked along the National Road. Drovers walked their herds of animals to market. These herds of sheep, pigs, cows, or turkeys could be very large. (Many herds numbered in the thousands.) People who lived along the National Road might also walk from place to place on it.

Other people traveled the road with Conestoga wagons. Known as Turnpike Freighters, these wagons averaged 17–19 feet in length, 11 feet in height, and weighed about 3,500 pounds. They could carry 6–10 tons of cargo. These large wagons were pulled by 6–8 horses. The wagons were painted red and blue with white canvas covers and carried large loads of supplies along the road. Drivers would walk next to the wagon; ride on the rearmost, left horse; or sit upon the lazy board located on the left side of the wagon.

Many stagecoaches traveled the National Road. It was expensive (fares averaged about $15.00 per person) to ride in the brightly painted coaches pulled by four horses. The coaches were painted with bright scenes to attract customers. The most popular stagecoaches were known as the Troy and the Concord coaches, made in either Troy, New York, or Concord, New Hampshire. They carried about ten passengers and went 6-10 miles per hour. This was the fastest means of land transportation and was achieved by changing the horses every 12 to 15 miles.

Some stagecoaches also carried the mail along with their passengers. Mail coaches had the right of way on the National Road, and they claimed this by blowing a coachman’s horn to warn other travelers to move to the side. Mail coaches did not have to pay tolls.

All kinds of people traveled the National Road. Emigrants traveling West used the road, but few of these people wrote about what they saw and did. Politicians, performers, and military people also used the road. As many as 200,000 people traveled the National Road every year during its heyday in the 1830s and 1840s.”

Along the road there were towns with inns and taverns to serve the weary travelers. Journeys of hardship and danger that once took weeks or months had been reduced to days or a week of travel on a relatively safe new roadway. The National Road is now called Highway 40 and runs from coast to coast. Today, this historic route is traveled by car, truck, van, and busloads of Americans for reasons not unlike their nineteenth century predecessors.
