Quotations

1860
[On any intersected terrain covered with stones, or on lakes or rivers, where the ice has packed, and is not quite covered with snow they have extremely long snow-shoes, turning up at the front end like the head of a skate or the prow of a ship. They are frequently six feet long, and easily glide over any obstacles on the road.]
1916
It is somewhat peculiar in shape and is possibly a transition between the Ojibwa and Montagnais snowshoe.
1941
The Ojibway snowshoe is the most familiar type, for this is the usual shape of the factory made shoe.
