Maybe I read that wrong, but why change terms. I've been reading about this era for 20+ years and have never even heard other terms for it like "burden strap" or "hoppis"? I have never heard of a tumpline being worn across the chest either. The late great outdoor writer Calvin Rustrum, who forgot more about tumplines then all on the list compined, talks a lot about tumplines. He once met a Cree Indian on a portage trail that was tumplining a cast iron stove on his back and a five gallon jerry can of kerosene in each arm. Rutsrum said the Indian never even laid down his load as they talk briefly on the trail. These Indian are of course like sherpas that have spent generations packing incredible loads. I joked right off about Pasquinel using a tumpline in Centennial but at least he was wearing it right, over his forehead. bb - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 May 2004 04:11:29 +0000 From: "don secondine" Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Tumpline defined Hoppis is used repeatedly in the 18th and early 19thc. primary sources.
