Dear VA. list,
On the 17th I started this string....that ended up talking about blankets
and the palatinate and hollow/hollar people. Very interesting responses
came thru and it is nice to see some action on the VA list.

However, my original email was:  "In a Frederick Co., VA inventory of 1827
there is listed: one wagon tent. Would this be an actual tent waggoners
carried with them on long hauls to erect at night for personal use....or
maybe a covering for the wagon?"  Perhaps a conestoga.  The wagon was
inventoried at $75...the price for two of the horses.

Guess I should assume since there were no comments on wagon tents.....that
no one is familiar with this term?

Enjoyed reading all the input regardless of the bends in the road.
