Bullwhacker is an American historical term for the driver of a team of oxen or bullocks — a key figure in the wagon trains and freight operations of the 19th-century American frontier. The bullwhacker used a long whip to control and direct the team, and the role demanded considerable skill and physical strength. The term carries strong frontier connotations and appears frequently in accounts of westward expansion, cattle drives, and early American transport. Now archaic except in historical contexts.
