Bill Balfrey takes us on a trip back through time, into the rugged Siskiyou Mountains, to a time when the mail was carried by Mule Train to remote mountain villages - and in the winter, the mules really did wear snowshoes!

This video is based on a popular lecture delivered by Bill to the Back Country Horsemen of California.

Bill Balfrey is a 4th generation resident of tiny and remote Etna, California, as well as a retired psychology professor at College of the Siskiyous. He is a master mule packer himself, and offers the viewer a treasure trove of history and lore.
