The Bay Path went from Boston to Springfield along the same line, except that it passed through South Framingham instead of Marlborough and Worcester, joining the Connecticut Path at Oxford. See map, in L. B. Chase, “Interpretation of Woodward's and Saffery's Map of 1642,” in _New England Historical and Genealogical Register_ vol. IV. pp. 155 _ff._ For other early trails, see the same author's “Early Indian Trails,” in _Worcester Society of Antiquity Collections_, vol. XIV. pp. 105 _ff._, and A. B. Hulbert, _Indian Thoroughfares_; Cleveland, 1902. In their travel, as in their domestic life, labor was more or less equally divided between the sexes; and, although woman's position was subordinate, it is a mistake to paint her as drudge, toiling for a lazy master. In building the house, for example, the man cut and set the poles, on which the woman arranged the covering of mats or bark. The tillage of the soil in comparative safety was her share, while the man undertook the more dangerous work of hunting. While she had the care of the household, and the nurture of the children, he laboriously chipped the stone implements used in war and the chase, built the boats, and, in some cases, made the women's clothes as well as his own. The boys and old men helped her about the crops; to the other males were intrusted the duties of a warrior, and the conducting of public business and ceremonials, including the memorizing of the tribal records, treaties, and rituals.[37] In the production of household goods, the women made baskets and mats; the men, dishes and pots and spoons.[38] Footnote 37: Hodge, _Handbook_, vol.
