My window-panes were made of oiled deer hide.

Thinking that perhaps I might need to plow in the coming season, I made me a plow like those around me, which might have come from Mexico or Egypt--a forked limb bound with rawhide.

Wood and hide, were, indeed, our only materials.

If a wagon wheel showed signs of disintegration, we lashed it together with rawhide.

When the settlers of the last year sought to carry wheat to market on the Willamette barges, they did so in sacks made of the hides of deer.
