Note in the photograph below that in addition to the three-wagon train headed for California there are several 1950s cars: a 1957 Olds; 1957 DeSoto; 1955 Mercury; 1955 Chevy; 1958 Ford (?).
See below for an explanation of the wagon train!
John, in 1959 when I was 11 years old there was an evangelist in my hometown of Hinton by the name of Harry Payton. Mr. Payton got this bright idea to conduct a "wagon train" to take Jesus all the way to California. I am not making this up (see photo here). I do not know how many months it took but apparently one of the three horse drawn wagons made it all the way. I suspect many people were converted along the way although one suspects that California folks rejected Christ. 
In this photo the wagon train is getting ready to go, leaving from the main street through Hinton. Note the Western Auto Associate store, the place where I bought all of my bicycle repair parts including a new Sturmy-Archer "transmission" for my English bike
