They used large-wheeled wagons to pack most of their belongings and were guided by trails that were made by the previous trappers and traders who walked the area.

English (Lancashire): variant of Sawyer from Middle English sager, sagher ‘sawyer’. Pronounced to rhyme with vaguer, sager is a dialect variant that was still current in late 19th century Lancashire and Yorkshire, as were saag, saig, and sague for ‘saw’ (noun and verb). The Yorkshire name may be partly indigenous to the county but it is mainly associated with a family that moved in the 16th century from Burnley (Lancashire) to Rimington and then Bradford (Yorkshire).
