I've been too long living in the settlements lad, I'm getting old and fat!
Need to spend more time in the mountains! I think your book idea is a really
good one, too many pilgrims don't get the right info, and end up with bad,
non pc horns. It's great for them to want to make them, but if they're going
to invest the time, they should do it right! (hell, I'd buy a copy too!)

Subject: MtMan-List: Double barrel (off topic)

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
of 12 flats inside the bore for the entire length! Can't say I've ever seen
anything like it before, nor do I know why it would be that way....any idea
boys? The other barrel is appears normally smooth....

I have two Spring Valley 'Servants tents' , smallish wall tents. I would
also recommend this company. I was very pleased with the price 10 years
ago, and am very pleased with the quality. Theses tents have a lot of live
left in them after 10 years of use. my opinion. hardtack

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Trailblazer Jim Beckwourth (Non-Period Question)
Jon, according to his autobiography (as told to Thomas
D. Bonner) all Beckwourth says is "It was in the
latter end of April that we entered upon an extensive
valley at the northwest extremity of the Sierra range"
As he earlier stated that he had taken the steamer
"California" from Monterey to Stockton in April of
1849, and that it was the following spring I take it
he discovered the pass in late April of 1850. I hope
this helps. Since Beckwourth himself does not give a
specific date I would not think one is available. Dog
