L’histoire du «Chuck Wagon», ou du «chariot-cuisine», ou encore de la «roulante», si précieux pour les cowboys sur la piste pour de longues semaines. [...] Des emplacements étaient prévus pour transporter des bariques d’eau et de nourriture dont il fallait un grand nombre et qui ne pouvait être stockée dans les tiroirs à l’arrière, comme le lard salé ou les haricots. Sous le chariot se trouvait une réserve de bois. Enfin l’ensemble était protégé par une lourde toile tendue sur des arceaux. Car, outre la cuisine, le chariot transportait les affaires des cowboys : couchage, vêtements de rechange, necessaire à coudre, cartes, dés... Nombre de ranchers, qui ne pouvait se procurer des ambulances, transformèrent ainsi leurs simples chariots jusqu’alors non bâchés. 2, record 3, French, - chariot%20de%20mandrin
