Quotations

1871
"Shanganappi harness is tough stuff and a broken sled is easily set to rights. . . ."
1885
Huge wheels, out of all proportion to the carrying capacity, with felloes roughly cut from native wood . shaganappi fastening everywhere, shaganappi "hitchings" ; not a grain of iron in its whole anatomy--such was the far-famed Red River Cart in its palmy days.
