Description
Excerpt from The Ojibway: A Novel of Indian Life, of the Period of the Early Advance of Civilization in the Great Northwest
When he moved aside the blanket In walking, it was seen that he also had on white cotton leg gings, reaching above the knee, and which were held in place by thongs fastened to the belt around his waist. His thighs were bare, as was his body, except for the breech-cloth; and over all was the invaluable blanket; his covering by day and his complete protection in the wildest winter storms by night.
He and his faithful dog thus plodded on a good many miles along the Shore of the lake, until he came to a birch-bark canoe drawn up on the sand, out of reach of the waters of the lake and out of danger of being blown in by the wind.
