Suppose you are a settler in the British colonies. You want to settle on land where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi River.
What physical feature do you have to cross to reach that area? Traveling over land, what might be a good route? I dont need the first part of the question just the second part that says Traveling over land, what might be good route.
If we´re assuming that a settler is someone that basically knows nothing about the "new" area or enviroment. Building a boat sounds like the immediate solution, you have the neccesary prime material near you (wood). But building a boat would take time, even if the settler is a carpentry expert.
Explore the surroundings while you´re trying to find a route its the best option.
You´re not only expanding your known territory, you´re also finding new routes on the way.
