One who follows an army and sells provisions, liquors, and the like to the troops.

"The soldiers had not anticipated the assault of the enemy; even had they done so, they had not strength to repulse it. Thus the camp was taken and plundered. Then the enemy fell upon the sutlers and Roman traders, who were wandering about in every direction, as they would in a time of peace."

"Some Dyaks have stated that they would give up head-hunting, were it not for the taunts and gibes of their wives and sweethearts."

Raftsman

Someone who takes goods or people over water by raft.

"We slept most all day, and started out at night, a little ways behind a monstrous long raft that was as long going by as a procession. She had four long sweeps at each end, so we judged she carried as many as thirty men, likely. She had five big wigwams aboard, wide apart, and an open campfire in the middle, and a tall flagpole at each end. There was a power of style about her. It amounted to something being a raftsman on such a craft as that."

Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn (1884)
