im looking for the history of transport that travellers used?

Answer 1

Look down - - - what do you see? Two feet. Usually and that was what people usually travelled on. That and boats. The first thing man/woman did when they started making stuff was to make something that would float. MUCH later they figured out how to ride horses and donkeys (if I call them what they are, a three letter A word, the Yamsters will threaten to disembow me with a hammer) and Camels, and then they figured out how to harness oxen and even dogs.

BUT EVEN AFTER horses etc came into play, People Walked - - - those movies showing pioneers riding in wagons LIED. People walked. Later on trains and then cars came along and finally people stopped walking. Now their A- - are as wide as the Nile Delta.

The sledge: 7000-4000 BC
From the beginning of human history people have dragged any load too heavy to be carried. But large objects are often of awkward shape and texture, liable to snag on any roughness in the ground. The natural solution is to move them on a platform with smooth runners - a sledge.
Wooden sledges are first known, by at least 7000 BC, among communities living by hunting and fishing in northern Europe, on the fringes of the Arctic. It is possible that they use dogs to pull them, but the technological advance is valuable even without animal power. On icy ground a man can move a heavy load on a sledge with relatively little effort.
The domestication of cattle, and more particularly the discovery that a castrated bull becomes the docile but very powerful ox, means that humans can transport heavier loads than before. This is done at first on sledges, which slither adequately over the dry grass of the steppes of southern Russia and on the parched earth of Mesopotamia. In both regions ox-drawn sledges are in use by the 4th millennium BC.

The natural next stage is the addition of wheels. ""

Answer 2

Well, your question is quite vague as it doesn't specify the era nor the area of what kind of transport was used.

Prior to modern technology, people walked, went on horseback, rode in covered wagons, rode in locomotives, trains, etc. In 1903, the Wright Brothers developed the airplane and a little over 100 years later, we have 747s that can transport people from Chicago to Tokyo in 12 hours.

Google "history of transportation" or look it up on Wikipedia.
