The red river cart first appeared in the 19th century made by the Metis. Its first use was for carrying hides, dried meat, and tallow from their semiannual bison hunts on the plains. Eventually it was used for carrying supplies to trading posts. It was eventually replaced by steamboat and railroad in the late 19th century.
