Rick,
A simple homespun, two-color, Checkered broadcloth would be nice however
white muslin (unbleached of course) would be simple. Also, unbleached white
muslin that is hand dyed in some sort of walnut hull or natural dye would be
very nice. They would also have "hand-sewn" edges or left to fray. Just in
case, the burlap you kept would work fine too.
Hope this helps,
Mike Powell

Subject: MtMan-List:Mike Moores's Book Review
Hello The Camp
Heroes to Me by Mike Moore
I received and read the very first copy of the book ahead of the first
edition printing. Had Mike sign it also.
Mike did an excellent job of presenting various aspects of the Rocky
Mountaineer by using mostly primary sources, journals, narratives and ledgers
of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. He uses the time period 1807 thru 1845 which
is 5 years beyond that is used by the AMM and most students of the RMFT. But
this allows him to use some very valuable sources, Rufus Sage, Francis
Parkman, and George Ruxton. They without a doubt give some of the best
descriptions of the Mountaineer, his equipage and his actives.
His book in paper back with 192 pages is divided into 24 short sections on
various topics like, The Look, The Trappers Camp, The Other Half, Bullboats,
Buffalo and Caches. Each section can be read in one sitting the cultural
center.
This is a top shelf book that both the new comer and the and the well studied
will use again and again. The new comer will find it invaluable, saving him
much reading time in his search the persona of the Mountaineer and a valuable
list of should read books. The well studied will find himself trying to
identify the source of the quote without checking the footnote and the
bibliography at the end of each section. He will also discover some sources
that he hasn't read and some that he should read again.
At the end of the book is recommended reading list, not all the sources that
are used are in this list, but are in the bibliography at the end of each
section. Make sure and add them.
I would highly recommend buying two of Mike's books. One for highlighting and
adding more quotes that you discover in future studies that pertain to the
section topics and one that is signed and left in an unmarked condition.
I will get my second copy later this month.
A copy can be had for about $21 including shipping and handling from:
