    Title

    Ploughing at Hay River

    Subject

    Ploughing with sled dogs at Hay River

    Description

    Two men ploughing a field at Hay River, Northwest Territories, with harnessed dogs. There were no horses or similar draft animals so far North, making dogs particularly important as beasts of burden. This magic lantern slide has been hand-coloured.
