I always like hearing stories about local history and early settlers with real mettle in their spirit who made successes of themselves. I can't imagine what winter would be like with the type of footwear they'd have had at the time. I know the furs and wool would perform well, but I've never seen old winter boots that look anything but bone-chilling....
