ヘンプとアメリカ西部開拓

"The Conestoga wagons and prairie schooners of pioneer days were covered with hemp canvas. Indeed the very word canvas comes from the Arabic word for hemp." (from U.S.D.A. Film Hemp for Victory). True canvas is hemp canvas, and in the old West of the United States, tents, wagon covers, ropes, packs, sacks, and some clothes were of hemp cloth and canvas.


Tents and covered wagons of canvas (Cannabis) provided shelter in the old West and around the world. Hemp Museum bookend.	The original Hemp Museum model of a hemp- covered wagon, seen here with hemp stalks wrapped with hemp rope from Denmark.
