??? You mean ride the mule? What about his mare?
jpwagoneer1964:
Well no, bet he would had to bring them in tow much like we see Ennis do when he goes to the bridge to get supplies. We see the horses in that scene but not the mules. Just something Jack would of had to do in real life.

Forgive an iggorant Easterner here. ... ;D
I understand it's common among our Amish population here in Central Pennsylvania for homes to have propane refrigerators so they can have the safety and modern convenience of refrigeration without the "connection to the outside world" of electric power lines, but it never occurred to me that propane fridges might be used on isolated ranches.

Yes they do make Fridges that run on propane and natural gas. However because we do see electric lamps in the Trist Sr. home you can assume an electric Fridge would have been appropriate for the setting and after all this sequence is supposed to be 1982/83.

Good point 'bout the 'lectric lights in the Twist house, Ross. I forgot about that!
This talk of propane fridges reminds me that my grandparents' first travel trailer had a little refrigerator that could run on either electricity, if they were in a campground that had electric hookups, or propane, for when no electricity was available.

Actually a mangle is/was a set of two rollers through which you pass the wet laundry to wring out as much water as possible. Could be nasty if you caught your fingers in it!
That's just made me realise that even though they lived upstairs from the laundromat, Alma still did some washing by hand. Maybe they did a big load in the laundromat now & then but couldn't use it all the time cos of the cost.
