Excerpt from The Book of Carriages, or a Short Account of Modes of Conveyance, From the Earliest Periods to the Present Time
The earliest records of wheel carriages are to be found in the Old Testament, though as their use only is mentioned, without any description as to their structure, we have no very clear idea on the subject of their form. The chariot and the wagon are both named in Genesis; Joseph rode in the second chariot of Pharaoh, which was doubtless a state carriage of the same form as the war chariots, but differing from them, in having less complete military accoutrements, although even in these the case of arrows is not wanting.
Wagons are also mentioned in Genesis as being despatched from the court of Egypt to convey thither the wives and little ones of the family of Jacob, and when Jacob saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. With some few exceptions.
