A covered wagon, also called a prairie wagon, whitetop,[1] or prairie schooner,[2] is a horse-drawn or ox-drawn wagon used for passengers or freight hauling. It has a canvas, tarpaulin, or waterproof sheet which is stretched over removable wooden bows (also called hoops or tilts) and lashed to the body of the wagon.[3][4][5][6] They were a popular style of vehicle for overland migrations.
