| #8. Horses (still being used in some cases today)
Horses followed the oxen as a means of transportation
Why do you think that happened?
Although the oxen were stronger, horses were faster and could be more easily managed - they could take logs out with little direction - it was often said that they were a smart as the men who worked them!
Skid trails were still a necessity - because horses could move faster, skid roads could be built farther away from the mills
What would we call a skid trail today? (a road - we now use trucks)
How do we transport logs to the mill today? (mainly by truck but also by train and sometimes by water)
