Description
|
|
|
|
Horse packing—load horses or mules to carry supplies and goods—was once a cornerstone of transportation. This practical guide, written by a veteran of the Spanish-American War who later took mule trains over the Andes, covers all aspects of this once-commonplace need. Filled with precisely drawn illustrations and instructions on hitches, cordage, ropes, splices, and knots, it includes fine explanations of general packing rules, a background on pack organization, records of endurance for well-packed animals, and how to avoid the diseases that can strike pack animals.
