YEP, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A DRAGMULE: Dragmules were frequently used by General Custer and other generals of that era. They were contracted mules teams that hauled loads of munitions or took other dangerous assignments which could result in loss of life, or equipment, or both.  --Much to our surprise actually. We found out only after we had already named the band. So that makes us, sort of like mercenaries or something. . .
