of both sexes, wear a sort of coronet on their
heads, from four to six inches broad, open at the top, and composed of
peak, or beads, or else of both interwoven together, and worked into
figures, made by a nice mixture of the colors. Sometimes they wear a
wreath of died furs, as likewise bracelets on their necks and arms. The
common people go bare-headed, only sticking large shining feathers about
their heads, as their fancies lead them.

Sec. 3. Their clothes are a large mantle, carelessly wrapped about their
bodies, and sometimes girt close in the middle with a girdle. The upper
part of this mantle is drawn close upon the shoulders, and the other
hangs below their knees. When that's thrown off, they have only for
modesty sake a piece of cloth, or a small skin tied round their waist,
which reaches down to the middle of the thigh. The common sort tie only
a string round their middle, and pass a piece of cloth or skin round
between their thighs, which they turn at each end over the string.

Their shoes, when they wear any, are made of an entire piece of
buckskin, except when they sew a piece to the bottom to thicken the
sole. They are fastened on with running strings, the skin being drawn
together like a purse on the top of the foot, and tied round the ankle.
The Indian name of this kind of shoe is moccasin.

But because a draught of these things will inform the reader more
at first view than a description in many words, I shall present him with
the following prints drawn by the life.

cock, the rest is either shorn off, or knotted behind his ear. On his
head are stuck three feathers of the wild turkey, pheasant, hawk, or
such like. At his ear is hung a fine shell with pearl drops. At his
breast is a tablet, or fine shell, smooth as polished marble, which
sometimes also hath etched on it a star, half moon, or other figure,
according to the maker's fancy. Upon his neck and wrists hang strings of
beads, peak and roenoke. His apron is made of a deer skin, gashed round
the edges, which hang like tassels or fringe; at the upper end of the
fringe is an edging of peak, to make it finer. His quiver is of a thin
bark; but sometimes they make it of the skin of a fox, or young wolf,
with the hea
