OLD OCCUPATIONS
Through winters past, people travelling in open, horsedrawn carts, sleighs, and carriages braved freezing winds, sleet, and snow by bundling up in furs. In addition to draping greatcoats with mink, marten, or raccoon scarves, shawls, cloaks, or capes, many tucked buffalo robes or rugs about their laps and legs. Scores also kept ears and hands snug in fluffy angora-goat, bear, or fox muffs.
