Through the 1800s, wagon trains carried settlers across the prairie toward new territory beyond the Mississippi, chasing free land promised by the Homestead Act. Pioneers followed overland trails across the frontier, building homesteads far from any established town. Railroads later replaced the wagon, turning a months-long migration into a matter of days.
