Quotations
<i>c</i>1902
If the fine powdery snow-drifts are glossed with the ice of unbroken sun-glare, the runners strap iron crampets to their snow-shoes, and with a great jingling of dog-bells, barking of the huskies, and yelling of the drivers, coast away for the leagueless levels of the desolate North.
1962
The Eskimo along the Mackenzie delta began to demand . . . rat-tail files, horse bells, dog bells--following the visit of American whalers . . . after 1890.
