“The trail was designed to have no end, a wild place on which to be comfortably lost for as long as one desired. In those early days nobody fathomed walking the thing from beginning to end in one go. Section hikes, yes. Day hikes, too. But losing yourself for five months, measuring your body against the earth, fingering the edge of mental and physical endurance, wasn’t the point. The trail was to be considered in sections, like a cow is divided into cuts of beef. Even if you sample every slice, to eat the entire beast in a single sitting was not the point. Before 1948, it wasn’t even considered possible.”

“Koyun eti göçebe halkların temel gıda maddesidir. Ayrıca koyun hızlı büyüyen, et ve iç yağ sağlayan bir hayvandır. Deri ve yünü giysi ve keçe yapımında kullanılır ki, Kıpçakların günlük hayatının vazgeçilmez unsurlarıdır. Ama diğer göçebelerin çoğunda olduğu gibi Kıpçakların da sevgilisi, "sürülerin incisi", en değerli ve en itibarlı hayvanı elbette ki attı. Kıpçaklar, s. 243”
