Fred, it was used as a moisture barrier for their sinew backed bows...and decoration too I guess but they were very limited from what I understand.
 I got attacked by a brown thrasher 2evenings in a row and couldn't figure out what was up until I realized my bow was backed with copperhead skins. Brown thrashers are ground birds so I guess they are not as fond of copperheads as I am.  ;D
