Discusses transportation and medicine practices during the 1810s. Topics covered:<br />
<br />
* Danger and difficulties involved with traveling<br />
* Native Americans' presence in the frontier<br />
* Limited options for travelers in major American cities of the time, and even more limited options for people living in rural areas<br />
* Weather-related risks travelers faced when sailing by ship, especially during winter<br />
* Traveling by water as the preferred form of travel, in spite of weather risks<br />
* Risks people faced traveling by road, primarily isolation and lack of communication in case of trouble - road travel was only done in the winter, when roads and rivers froze<br />
* The slow pace of news, and mail as a big event in towns<br />
* The role post walkers played in getting news and mail to outlying farms and villages<br />
* The ease at which people could get lost or attacked by wild animals in the forest near Sackets Harbor<br />
* Plants and other natural material from forests needed to make medicine to treat ill and injured family members<br />
* Continued remedies still in use to the present day<br />
