Wagon Department

During the campaign of 1776, Congress created a Wagon Department that had full responsibility for overland transportation. The organization consisted of a wagon master general and a wagon master for each department.

By 1870, the Wagon Department had grown to include 11 deputy wagon masters general, 108 enlisted wagon masters, 256 enlisted wagoners and 272 hired civilians. 45 hired pack horse masters and 26 pack horsemen completed the organization.

This was a very respectable beginning for the Army's first "Transportation Corps."

wagon master was the person hired to oversee the transportation of a group of wagons from one place to another. On the American frontier, the term usually applies to the person responsible for assisting groups of immigrants or pioneers from the eastern U.S. to the western U.S. Wagon masters were also hired to oversee shipments of cargo or mail. A group of wagons traveling together were referred to as a "train".
