In the 19th century settlers could travel from 15 to 20 miles per day in a wagon. On foot it could take between days or even months to reach certain destinations

In the early 19th century, settlers could travel from 15 to 20 miles per day by covered wagon. Given the distance between New York and California is around 2,445 miles, the journey would take approximately 122 to 162 days, or from 4 to 5.5 months.

Have a great day!~ <3
