People have always traveled, in search of food or animal skins for clothing, or for territorial expansion. Travel in these early days was time-consuming and dangerous. Indeed, our word travel comes from the French word travail, which means work, and that is what it was, hard work. Most early travel was on foot, but later donkeys began to be used. Waterways and seaways also frequently became paths for trade and commerce.
