In this quiz about the Wild West, we ask, among other things, what a North American trapper and fur trapper was called. The name you are looking for comes from their main activity, setting traps to catch fur-bearing animals such as beavers, foxes, badgers and other animals. They often roamed the remote areas of North America, especially during the fur trade period of the 18th and 19th centuries , and played an important role in the development of the West. I’m sure you know the word.
We also want you to tell us what a mail transport service organized as a horse-drawn relay was called in North America. It was established in 1860 and served to connect the East Coast with the West Coast, especially during the California Gold Rush and the rapidly growing settlement movement in the western territories. A series of riders, working in a relay, delivered mail over a distance of around 3,200 kilometers.
But the Wild West quiz is not just about the colonists. We also have questions about the North American natives who were brutally pushed off their land and killed by the millions. For example, we are looking for an important Seminole leader who led his indigenous people against the US army in the Second Seminole War from 1835 to 1842. He fought against the forced relocation of his people. His tactical skill and perseverance made him a legend among the Seminoles and a symbol of resistance to American expansion.
