In the winter there were bob sleigh riding parties. The horses had sleigh bells on their harnesses which jingled as they ran.I wish I knew what year this was. I assume it took place before Mathias was married in about 1874. Here's what I know about Mathias Christian Lund (narrative exported from my Roots Magic file):
Our dances in the winter time commenced in the afternoon and lasted well into the evenings. Dances were held in the old adobe school house on the south side of the square in the winter and in the bowery which was nearby in the summertime.
We danced on the hard dirt floor at first, many in their bare feet. Some had fancy boots on. My Brother, Mathias Lund, had purchased a pair to wear at a dance in the old bowery and being a "fussy" man, had gotten them plenty snug. When he tried to get them on he couldn't, so he removed his socks, greased his feet, and they slipped on without any effort. He went to the dance and danced the finger polka and the mazurka with the best of them. (Willard Lund)
