"...I do want to ask you if you know much about the gage d'amour's the
trappers
carried thier pipes in..."
I have one that a friend made for me years ago. It is a heart-shaped bag
with an open top, into which fits a small draw-string bag to carry prepared,
(i.e. chopped up) tobacco in. The front of the "heart" has slits in it to
carry a pipe in. Mine is soft leather, with fringe on the bottom, which is
beaded with white heart beads. I rubbed mink oil into the leather for
waterproofing purposes. I think a quilled one would look real nice. How
about posting a picture when it's done?

Subject: MtMan-List: Buffalo hunting on the northern Plains
Dear List,
I think it was Mark who posted the story of his fine bison hunt
awhile back. It made me think of this journal entry but it took
me this long to remember where I saw it. This is from John James
Audubon journal. I got this from the fine book "Exploring the
Northern Plains 1804-1876" edited by Lloyd McFarling It is
under the chapter entitled "Buffalo Hunting at Fort Union"
chapter 17
August 10, 1843 Thursday, When the wind is high and the Buffaloes run
toward it, the hunter's guns very often snap, and it is during their
exertions to replenish their pans, that the powder flies and sticks to the
moisture every moment accumulating on their faces; but nothing stops these
daring and usually powerful men, who the moment the chase is ended, leap
from their horses, let them graze, and begin their butcher-like work.
Although I have said much about Buffalo running and butchering in general,
I have not given the particular manner in which the later is performed by
the hunters of this country,- I mean the white hunters,-and I will now try
to do so. The moment that the buffalo is dead, three or four hunters,
their faces and hands often covered with gunpowder, and with pipes
lighted, place the animal on its belly, and by drawing out each fore and
hind leg, fix the body so it cannot fall down again; an incision is made
near the root of the tail, immediately above the root in fact, and the
skin cut to the neck, and taken off in the roughest manner imaginable,
downwards and on both sides at the same time. The knives are going in all
directions, and many wounds occur to the hands and fingers, but are rarely
attended to at this time. The pipe of one man has perhaps given out, and
with his bloody hands he takes the one of his nearest companion, who has
his own hands equally bloody. Now one breaks the skull of the bull, and
with bloody fingers draws out the hot brains and swallows them with
peculiar zest; another has now reached the liver, and is gobbling down
enormous pieces of it; whilst, perhaps a third, who has come to the
paunch, is feeding luxuriously on some-to me-disgusting-looking offal. But
the main business proceeds. The flesh is taken off from the sides of the
boss, or hump bones, from where these bones begin to the very neck, the
hump itself is thus destroyed. The hunters give the name of "hump" to the
mere bones when slightly covered by flesh; and it is cooked, and very good
when fat, young, and well broiled. The pieces of flesh taken from the
sides of these bones are called filets, and are the best portion of the
animal when properly cooked. The fore-quarters, or shoulders, are taken
off, as well as the hind ones, and the sides, covered by a thin portion of
flesh called the depouille, are taken out. Then the ribs are broken off at
the vertebrae, as well as the boss bones. The marrow-bones, which are
those of the fore and hind legs only, are cut out last. The feet usually
remain attached to these; the paunch is stripped of its covering of layers
of fat, the head and backbone are left to the Wolves, the pipes are all
emptied, the hands, faces, and clothes all bloody, and now a glass of grog
is often enjoyed, as the stripping off the skins and flesh of three or
four animals is truly very hard work. In some cases when no water was
near, our supper was cooked without our being washed, and it was not until
we had travelled several miles the next morning that we had any
opportunity of cleaning ourselves; and yet, despite everything, we are all
hungry, eat heartily, and sleep soundly.
Now that is a buffalo hunt!
