1.
A farmer plowing a field. Creating new farms out of forested
lands
west of the Appalachian Mountains was often back-breaking work.

A canal boat being pulled by a horse. Usually the person who was
managing the horse (or mule) walked alongside the animal. 
3.
A miner with a pick and water jug. Notice the candle on the
miner's

people
westward.
