I think that the shoepacks may be what are called Mickey Mouse boots today. |
I had on light wool stockings for my legs, a pair of deed skin leggings and wool wraps up to my knees, blanket lined shoepacks and two pair wool socks. |
When we were marching from one horror to another, I had shoepacks on because the ground was always wet or frozen. |
The shoepacks kept water out, but they also did not allow any air in to permit our sweaty feet to dry. |
For warmth and comfort, the pioneers stuffed their moccasins or shoepacks with deer hair or dry leaves. |
