Quotations

1872
A hunting toboggin is six feet long, composed of two sidepieces of spruce, six inches wide, and one inch in thickness, rounded off in front, and square behind; these are placed parallel to each other, at the distance of two feet, and joined at the upper sides by wooden benches of maple or other hard wood. Strips of thin sheet iron, two inches wide, and turned up in front to serve as runners, are then nailed or screwed to the bottom of the sidepieces; thin pieces of wood are placed over the benches, on the top of which the load is fastened, by ropes or thongs of hide.
