Description
Summary:North-wester The hunter's head is sheltered by a north-wester, or/hood, which covers his head and shoulders, and is fastened by pinovers, or pieces of flannel tacked to one side of the north-wester and pinned to the other, the one covering the nose, and the other the chin; his hands are concealed in warm cuffs, in shape like those used in England by hedgers; and his feet are armed with light broad rackets. Thus prepared, he fearlessly ranges about, or, according to the technical term, _rummages_ in search of his game. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit FEB 1971 JH FEB 1971 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup Used I
