Travois, Native American Stretcher, 1894

Entitled: "Stretchers Indian Travois as exhibited by Surgeon Forwood at meeting of Military Surgeons, 1894." A travois is a historical frame structure that was used by indigenous peoples, notably the Plains Indians of North America, to drag loads over land. Although considered more primitive than wheel-based forms of transport, on the type of territory where the travois was used (forest floors, soft soil, snow, etc.), rather than roadways, wheels would have encountered difficulties which would have made them less efficient. William Henry Forwood (September 7, 1838 - May 12, 1915) was a surgeon from Brandywine Hundred, Delaware, who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War and eventually as Surgeon General of the United States Army from June 8, 1902 until September 7, 1902.
