Actually, I think Ann was refering to the bundling bag scene in the movie THE PATRIOT. After I saw the movie I read a book about the making of the movie and it stated that although the makers of the movies were aware of the use of bundling bags they couldn't find much documentation on them so they made the scene the way they figured bundling bags were used. It was a good scene in a very good movie that showed how life must have been in the 1770's. For those of you who haven't seen the movie yet there is a scene where sweethearts sleep in the same bed one night but the boy had to sleep in a bag sewn up by the girl's mother so his whole body, except for his head, was in the bag. It was the same principle as the use of a "bundling board". Clyde Snider on 7/7/00 9:59 AM, [email protected] at [email protected] wrote: > I think you are balking about bundling boards.
