520 2  "Between the 1840s and 1860s, thousands of emigrants 
       crossed the Great Plains to California, Oregon, and Utah. 
       They learned how to deal with many new situations, 
       including how to work with the animals they brought with 
       them on the journey. Although many emigrants knew how to 
       take care of the livestock on their family farms, travel 
       on the overland trails forced them to look at their 
       animals in a different light as their lives now depended 
       on their livestock in an unprecedented way. Many of the 
       emigrants had never ridden a horse before, let alone 
       hitched an ox to a wagon filled with the family's 
       possessions, or relied upon a mule to get them through the
       deserts and over the mountains. The travelers also 
       encountered wild animals new to them, such as buffalo and 
       prairie dogs. The emigrants sometimes even attributed 
       human characteristics to the animals. Prior to leaving 
       their homes, the travelers had been told by the 
       philosophers that animals were little more than beasts of 
       burden and some ministers said that caring for the animals
       took time away from God. Despite that, the sentimental 
       literature of the era encouraged the overlanders to treat 
       their animals well and the humans would be repaid by how 
       the animals helped the emigrants achieve their goals. 
       Unexpectedly, many emigrants often befriended the domestic,
       as well as the wild animals, along the way and by the end 
       of the trail, humans and animals alike had become 
       overlanders"--Provided by publisher.
