It reminded me some of the feelings I had when I was seasick on Lake Michigan.
It may be interesting to describe how we were dressed to enter on this winter campaign.

We wore moccasins of our own make.

I had a buckskin jumper, and leggins that came up to my hips.

On my head a drab hat that fitted close and had a rim about two inches wide.

In fair weather I went bare-headed, Indian fashion.
