1. According to the excerpt, I believe the phrase “pack through” means to continue to carry the belongings on the saddle packs on the horses.

People that traveled on horses, in order to travel faster, often used pack saddles, a device designed to be secured on the back of a horse, to carry heavy luggage and food. But, Mr. Jonson decided not to pack through which means that he didn’t want to continue this way of traveling and loaded his belongings and horse to a wagon.

2. I believe the context clues that help determine this meaning of the phrase “pack through” are statements that Mr. Jonson traveled with Mr. Wand using horses and pack-saddles to carry belongings and that later he decided not to go through with this kind of travel and made arrangements to travel on wagon.

Even though Mr. Jonson traveled with Mr. Wand’s party on horses, using pack-saddles to carry clothing, blankets, provisions etc. to travel faster, he decided not to continue this way of journey and made arrangements to travel on wagon, as it is stated in the excerpt: “Mr. Wand's party up to this time, but preferring not to pack through, made arrangements with Mr. Frink to travel with us. His horse, a good animal, was harnessed to our wagon and proved quite useful.”
