this board a light box-like frame is
dashed with rawhide, if the sledge is
intended to carry a passenger, and
this box is lined with frs to keep the
occupant warm. If designed primar-

may be dashed to the board, the load
is slowed inside this, and then the

has already been stated. Drawn by
oxen, mules, or horses, it numbered
along over the plains and mountains,
carrying the pioneers to their new
homes in the west or north, and
freight to the mines and the lower
fur posts. 1t was never designed for
rapid travel, and in this could not
compete with the travels.
