On This Day | It Took Grit!

While hauling a cow to Burlington, the sled overturned, and the cow fell on Mr. Jacobson’s hip. The horses fortunately did not run away, and when Mr. Jacobson attempted to get back in to the sled, he could not do it. He was a mile and a half from Burlington, the thermometer registered below zero and he stood a good chance of freezing to death. Realizing that he mus do something at ounce, he grabbed hold of the sleigh runners, and started the horses. He was pulled clear to Burlington in this manner, his fur coat acting as protection for his body, as he slid across the snow.
