Could you imagine what it was like to be an explorer?
What courage it must have taken to accompany Lewis and Clark westward.
Or, Daniel Boone into North Carolina.

Even more courageous were the early voyagers like the Vikings; or those who first explored the Polar regions and the highest mountains.
Nevertheless, the pioneers like Lewis, Clark and Boone were taking on very serious projects; venturing on foot or horseback into unknown country.
I don't how long it took to cross the continent even after the routes had been established by various explorers; generally uphill for much of the way Westwards. They must have been very unpleasant, mainly dreary but always hazardous journeys though, and I understand there were many graves along those old trade-routes.
