<BR>How does this coming week end sound? We might not be eating quit as well but Ken's got a spot for a camp that's got a lot of Beaver sign. Now Beaver ain't as fine a meat as Buff but it will keep your grub bag from a rubbin on your back bone. Come this time of year, it was regular fair for those boys who lived back then and ain't bad doins. The Camas won't be ready tell June but the Indian potato is up and we should be able to find enough to fill in with the beaver if your up for it.

A wonderful book by Marvin Ross was printed in 1951: "The West of Alfred Jacob Miller" it shows 200 of Miller's illustrations both watercolors and sketches of the Fur Trade period along with his notes. I'm sure many of you are aware of this book. If any one is interested in a 1st edition in great condition please go to a web site: Kenthomasbooks.com
He has one copy for a price that is $ 85.00 I think. I'm not sure. His business is located in Owasso, Oklahoma. Good luck

one of the first questions you need to ask yourself, is what persona are you
trying to recreate and what type of horn did they use. if you are going RMFT
, personally you cant beat a good buffalo powder horn.

Some of the recent posts have gotten me thinking about a gun my dad got back in the 60's. Its a double barreled, external hammer cartridge gun with damascus barrels, intended for bp. its marked LaClede (sp?) Belgium on the top. Is that barrel worth a damn?. I know that the locks are in pretty bad shape. and the fit is sloppy throughout. Just curious

interesting about them, is one barrel has a distinct, but somewhat faint, set

anything like it before, nor do I know why it would be that way....any idea
boys? The other barrel is appears normally smooth....

The original hangs in the museum in Cody, so if anyone wants to go look at it, who knows?

I am in need of an affordable bangaround firelock to tide me over till my fusil gets finished!!! (next december is the eariest date!!!) I will be using it for living history events! Needs to be flint, of course. It can have the barrel shot out, gouged stock, scratches, even a minor crack in stock is OK. Slight to moderate rust OK (do not want belly of barrel rusted out!!!) Even a pieced together gun is OK as this will mainly shoot blanks. Long as it makes a spark and some smoke.
A pistol may even do!!!
If anyone has any such thing lying around they want to get shed of or knows where I can find such, please let me know!!! Please respond offlist!!

This poem is attached to the Miller painting on page 197 of "The West of Alfred Jacob Miller"
This painting is titled: Catching Up. The POV is from Mnsieur Proveau's one pole tent on the left side of the painting. The tent definitely looks like a one pole and it looks to be about 9-10 feet tall compared to the men standing around it. There appear to be several mess fires going and the men are driving in the horses to picket them for the night. Check it out.

If it were a one pole structure, I would say it is a round style rather than the 4 sides shepherds style we see at events. But the wedge tent, where we see the front maybe be pitched next to another wedge with the rounded back facing the other way. I have done this many times to give me more privacy.
Unfortunately, very little can be determined from this picture. I have been trying to get his sketches which were more of a field note before he make his paintings. From what he drew on the plains, changed when he got to the studio.

<BR>. If anything, it does look like a Bell of Arms or the end of a bell wedge tent. But these are all opinions. Just haven't
<BR>seen any good documentation of one pole tents during this early time period.
<BR>
<BR>A bell of Arms was much smaller it was made to store Guns in and that is all. This tent is much to large for that. What's that black round spot on the back of that bell of the wedge tent for? Looks like a door to me. This is on the tent from Camp on the Prairie; there is enough details if one wants to see them.
<BR>Sorry boys but I will have to agree on one thing there is enough detail to tell it's round and not flat like a pyramid.
<BR>As for having not seen any good documentation of one pole tents during this early time period. I thought that is what we are doing here is looking at documentation.
<BR>Now I'm not saying that every or any trappers used them, but it seems Stewart had one with him.

I start training the colt(or older horse) by first get them acostumed to
ropes around thier feet.rub it around, flop it across,wrap it around them.
then get them use to a tote sack tied around 1 foot and then the other. take
the tote sack to make your first hobble,loop it around off leg ,twist it
together 2 or 3 times then tie it around near leg with a easy knot to get
loose. the colt WILL fight it some so be ready to yank it loose if he gets in
a wreck. Dont free him if all he does is fight it though as he will settle
down and stand in a bit. then start hobbleing him at feeding time ,leaving
them on a little longer each time

Dont free him if all he does is fight it though as he will settle down and stand in a bit. then start hobbleing him at feeding time ,leaving them on a little longer each time</FONT></HTML>

<BR>Best way I know is to put them on them. They'll figure them out all to fast and be for ya know it you be a tracking them. It is amazing how much ground they can cover in a short time once they find out how to move with them. Ain't that right Wynn? (G)

I have trained horses to hobbles by just putting them on, too. If you do
that don't stand to close because they are going over.

<BR>Some times they do some times they don't It's all part of them getting use to the things. Jim made some good points and had a good way to get them use to them but in then end it's all the same they get use to them. It is important to get the critter use to a rope that's all part of the ground work I do before even climb on for the first time. I all so use the lead rope to teach them to turn away from the rope rather then in to it. I do this by throwing the rope over their head working it around there body and pulling on it to make them turn. As they get use to it ya can work the rope further down around there legs to get them turn away from the presser and not in to it. This comes in handy when ya start to picket them out on a cuff and a line. Which I feel is the better way to put your horse out on feed when on the trail. I've had to go looking for horses on hobbles to many times and when your ridding with a group of horses that don't know one another you'll have problems with them getting after each other on hobbles. All ways high line your horse at night or when you aren't going to be able to keep an eye on them.

<DIV>Hi Folks, We are going to have an auction to raise funds for our Land Fund. There is a web site were you can view some of the items up for auction. The auction will be at our National Rdvs., May 29, but anyone can bid on the items. As long as the Bid is received before May 22 (when I leave for Colorado & the National Rdvs.) the high bid will be the opening bid at the rdvs. auction. Post bids on the site by using the 'notes' function, or e-mail bid to me (see below). Check out the items at </DIV>
<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Barring some major intervention of fate I will be there. My wife and I have not missed on in 5 years. Usually my mom or her mom can watch the kids as they still have school. But this year my mom is in Liberia Affrica working as a nurse at a Methodist Hospital and her mom is having eye surgury Thursday so she said for me to go alone and enjoy. I know she only meant the go part as I am not supposed to enjoy it without her but I will just have to suffer. She is giving me a shopping list for her stuff.

<DIV><SPAN class=281584119-22042002><FONT face=verdana>Well, I received so much excellent advice regarding powder horns, I figured I would approach this list with a new query.

Brenda, A tentsmith once told me that you put the tent up, scrub it inside
and out with a mixture of detergent and bleach, and rinse it really well with
lots of water. He said soap cleans it and bleach both kills the bacteria and
lightens the stain. IIRC, he said it would be difficult to remove all the
discoloration, but stopping the mildew growth was the most important thing.
After it drys completely you can pack it up, or if you were going to
re-waterproof or flame-retard the canvas, this would be the time to do so.
