It's quite a good and informative read to know about the 10 Goldbacks from Florida. In Nigeria the means of transportation at about the 1800 are camels, donkeys, horses, and of course walking (the use of legs). Then bush paths are used to link nearby villages. The use of canoe was also popular at that time especially in riverine areas.

But it's quite interesting to know the extent to which the World has developed now. Transportation is now easy, fast and seamless.
