Mostly by wagons pulled by mules or horses. Some walked. Some rode horseback.

The mass migration from Western Kentucky was not an organized movement. Long boats and ox-carts did most of the work. Lewis & Clark had shown the way. Read the history of places like Weston and Clay County (Jesse James home).

Well, the immigrants would probably go through Ellis Island first, and then on a covered wagon to Missouri.

Wagons, covered wagons and horses. I believe there was at least a partial railroad system and the Mississippi River. Trains and boats would probably have been used by wealthier people.

Does your teacher know you are asking other people to do your work for you, or does she believe you are searching the Internet for the information yourself?
You might try using your yahoo search engine and type in the State name and year to see the results.
Good luck, from a fellow Missourian
