The Swedish American adventurers traveling carriage with sails of Nevada
Art, technology and history - six Swedish formula cheerful journey. They will travel with the sails in the transport of the Nevada American planes. Carpenters, designers and artists, about half of the year did in 1850. transportation with a copy of the sails. The first test was successful. From 1846 to 1869. about 500 thousands of emigrants traveled across America to such movements. Some hoped for a better life, others - to find gold.
I had to be creative in order to survive in those days, traveling across mountains and plains. People traveled for half a year, not one died of disease and thirst. Swedes impressed by this story. True, they struggled to find instructions on how to build a carriage with sails.
