GUEST,Reiver 2	What is a mule skinner? (91* d)	RE: What is a mule skinner?	15 Aug 01
VERY interesting discussion. Personally, I have no doubt as to the "skinner" part of the term referring to outsmarting or developing an ability to work with these critters. I just remembered, however, that there is another old western ballad called "Buffalo Skinners" that is about the buffalo hunters on the plains. Perhaps that is where some of the confusion arises.
