Have you ever driven a wagon with iron-tired wooden wheels?  Every
pebble, pit and ripple is jolt!  No wonder people on the frontier --
all that didn't die on the way -- were robust.  They'd just ridden
from Massachusetts to Missouri and from Missouri to Texas or Colorado
or California on horseback or in an iron-tired wagon over what would
today grossly fail the test for "all-weather gravel road".
