I believe this is the meaning. Not sure if there are other terms more suitable for the period

wagons carrying people and cargo
That's the only thing that occurs to me offhand - ямщики may have been carrying people and обоз might refer to wagons carrying goods, personal effects, munitions.. whatever.. or maybe they were not wagons but carts and carriages, who knows :)

: I am not sure "wagons" are right for passenger traffic in this context. I believe "ямщики" drove "coaches". How are the Minneapolis ppl?
