#:<b>1920</b> The snow was too thick and the ruts frozen too hard for the motor. They drove out in a clumsy high carriage. Tucked over them was a blue woolen cover, prickly to her wrists, and outside of it a <b>buffalo robe</b>, humble and moth-eaten now, used ever since the bison herds had streaked the prairie a few miles to the west. � Lewis Sinclair, Main Street.
