Hallo Glenn<br>
<br>
Nope... it's the real deal. This is the same technology that has pinpointed
Mayan ruins and other interesting sites. As far as I know, there is no way
for the space jockeys to figger out if it's a Lewis & Clark camp, or
another camp of similiar time frame. They find "possible" sites, and then
they send in folks on the ground to check the sites.<br>

With him, I'm sometimes more tempted to sack him with a .50 ball than a saddleblanket.....

Wynn... I rarely get offended at folks, and never at those offering heartfelt
advice. This old horse (17 or so), is just twitchy. Has been since he was
a foal. I've sacked him before, but I think there are no branches on his
family tree. It's probably the Thourghbred in him. He was gifted to me
by a good friend, otherwise he'd a been gone down the road by now. He's
actually far better now than he was a year ago... when I got him, the shutter
of a camera meant rodeo time. On the plus side, he steps out on the trail
and keeps the string moving pretty well.<br>
<br>
What I'm working towards with him is to simply be able to take him into an
active camp (tent's flapping, guns firing, etc). Eventually, I hope to be
able to hold the reins, and shoot without loosing an arm.... but that's in
the future.

Naw.... that's what I keep my teenagers around for :) Appreciate the advice....
I hadn't thought of working him up to a crinkly piece of material. Always
sacked with sacks/saddleblankets/hats. Better build up my corral and increase
my life insurance before I get that far!<br>

I made my wife a split elk skin dress years a go. It is made of two large
pieces front and back that go to about the knees and two piece that attach
and extend the dress to the ankles. I used thongs thru antler buttons with
red and blue crow beads to attach them to the upper part so they could be
removed if she wanted. The antler buttons have to go. Any recommendations
what to replace them with? Square pieces of red trade cloth? How about the
crow beads?

The buttons are antler cut across the beam about 3/16 inch thick. They would
have been very difficult to make with primitive tools. Antler buttons seam to

<BR>Thanks for the info I found the article in the summer 1981 issue The Museum of the Fur Trade quarterly on Plains Indian Hair Plates. It refers to a Seneca wearing them in 1830 and David Burnet describing them on the Comanches in 1820. Also they were painted by Catlin in 1834 on a Kiowa chief, by Miller on several Sioux and by Albert on a Cheyenne at Bent Fort in 1845. The oldest documented set of hair plate are in the US National Museum are brass collected by Gunnison from the Ute in 1853.

Subject: MtMan-List: Somewhat OT: Creating Native Persona
Date: 21 Oct 2001 07:52:56 -0400
Ho Camp,
I know some of us are really into fur trade - RMFT and earlier - and have pretty well established personas and outfits. I am getting interested in developing a native american persona...one of a late 18th/early 19th century eastern native whose tribe got involved in the fur trade (as you can tell it is still in the planning stages). I am having a pretty difficult time finding resources on the dress, esp. hairstyles and headgear, but pretty much all data in general. I do not want this to be a generic persona. I am looking for resources that will allow me to paint a picture in my mind of what the tribes (Iriquois Confed. & Cherokee) were going through culturally and politically from F&I through RMFT so I can really develop a good persona...a person that can say what his background was and how he got to where he is "today".
If any of you are have this info., do native personas of any time period, or have data-links please respond to me offlist!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hello in the camp
David your right the stock of RMFT were hard footed critters. I have been
working with
Spanish Barbs. The type of horse used during the fur trade and the ones I've
been working with have some of the best feet I've seen on a horse. Hard as
hell and seem stay in good shape for the most part. So long as they are kept
in a large enough area that they can move around and kept on dry ground.
Their feet stay in good shape. The one horse that had here for year half
never did needed to be trimmed. In fact the one time I did have shoes put on
him the shoer only ran his rasp across the bottom of his hoof a couple of
times to set the shoe and that was all that was needed. Out of the two two
year old marries I have here now only one of them has ever been trimmed and
that was because it was kept in a small muddy corral for one winter and the
hooves did not have a chance to ware down.
With as much as the horses were used back then I bought that trimming was
ever much of a concern. Hooves being wore down to the quick was more of a
concern. But as hard as their hooves are they would go a lot farther then any
of our modern over breed horses of today before this would be a problem, I
have read of raw hide boots being used when the feet became tender.

Kurt,
Where do you live? If you are NE you can meet a lot of Native American
reinactors and Native American Personna Reinactors at the major French and
Indian events like Ft. Frederick, Md., Ft. Ticondaroga, NY and Ft. Niagara,
NY. Or at at Rev War events like Ft. Klock, NY (www.fortklock.com) look
under Photos, Interupted harvest and you will see some of them. I would also
go on line to the Smithsonian Native American Museum and its collection.
There is also a Woodland Conferderacy group that promotes the Native Personna
protrayal. I can't put my hands on the web sight at the moment but if I pull
it up I will pass on the info.
Hope this helps a little,
Y.M.O.S.

<BR>Lee
<BR>This what I do when dealing with a pack horse. First off I carry a short barrel Rifle 32".
<BR>(less to get hung up) I use a sling and wear it on my back and no I haven't been pulled of my horse yet. Be careful and aware of it and no problem.
<BR>Second if the pack horse is not pulling back much you can take one wrap around the horn with the lead rope and tuck the tail end under your thigh. If the pack horse does pull back all you have to do is let the rope go from under your thigh and there won't be a wreck. This has worked well for me.
<BR>If ya got a good pack horse that will keep it place in line ya don't need a lead rope let it have it's head. It ain't going to leave the other horses but this should only be done with a horse you can trust and only when the trail is safe to do so.

myself had mustangs (wild ones from the programs the feds run), so <BR>
like the Spanish Barbs they went back to the early stock that roamed <BR>
the west. These breeds are unlike the modern breeds as far as hoof <BR>
makeup according to CSU Vet Clinic folks, like Crazy says hardier, <BR>
don't split out and on good ground pretty much take care of <BR>
themselves.<BR>
<BR>
We would only trim the fronts in the spring and only then if a hard <BR>
winter where they where on snow for long periods, mild winters there <BR>
was no need to touch their feet, this was the same on all 5 animals, <BR>
yet the 5 quarter horses always needed foot work living in the same <BR>
conditions.<BR>
<BR>
What's interesting too is how stout the mustangs and Spanish Barbs <BR>
where when compared to their brothers the quarter horse or morgan, <BR>
which we also had several of. Pound for pound it's hard to find a <BR>
horse that will perform like a mustang or Spanish Barb, plus they are <BR>
correct for the RMFT or Native American events.<BR>

We just had one of our club members pass away from colon-liver-brain cancer
after an 8 year battle. She shoot all the shots and woods walks right up to
a month an a half before loosing the good fight. We had everyone that knew
her from rendezvous/black powder send friendship cards (somehow get well
cards were not right once she stopped further treatment) and with each card
was enclosed a friendship bead. Her family was amazed at the string of beads
she had by the time she passed away. So thats another way to say we care,
