*everyday tools including pickaroons, pike poles and bucking saws
*marriage options ranging from mail order brides to polygamy
*clothing comprised of duck, wool, corduroy and denim
*trails West, such as the Cherokee Trail of Tears and the Oregon Trail
*entertainment featuring Chautauquas, Wild West shows, rodeos and more.
