Wynn,
Liam is a fine prospective mountain man. I guess the big question on the
requirements is, were the marshmellos brought into camp in period
containers.........
You should be proud of those boys!

Hello the Camp
I read in almost all the journals of the Mountaineers eating dogs. The L&C
men preferred dog over salmon.
In Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary: Marshmallow; n. A plant of the genus Althea
The following answer to the question "Where did marshmallows come from?" is
FAQ number nine on the [alt.food.peeps] Peeps FAQ maintained by Annie.

Today's marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, gum
arabic and flavoring.

AAAAAAAAAaa well aaaaaaaaaaaa maybe well I kinda cheated a little on that
one.. . . . .
>

I am and since you meantion them I have another story. At the student demo
I pulled in after dark and unloaded the sleeping boys into Crazy and Jills
tipi. Quinn (3) woke up after the fire had died down. He was laying
directly on a buffalo robe and asked what it was. I told him "A buffalo".
Well I had a heck of a time getting him to settle down and go back to sleep.
Right after first light he was the first one awake. He rolled into the
sitting position looked around the tipi and asked, "Where's that buffalo?"
I reckon I had that kid scared to death of getting steped on in his sleep.
Now ifn noboby else starts written stuff yall goin to get tired of the
stories about my kids!

Subject: MtMan-List: 2 Requirements Marshmallow a real thing
Hello the Camp
I read in almost all the journals of the Mountaineers eating dogs. The =
L&C men preferred dog over salmon.
In Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary: Marshmallow; n. A plant of the genus =
Althea
The following answer to the question "Where did marshmallows come =
from?" is FAQ number nine on the [alt.food.peeps] Peeps FAQ maintained =
by Annie.
http://faqs.org/faqs/food/candy/peeps/preamble.html
=20
"Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a =
honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the =
Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt =
marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the =
eastern United States. Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made =
using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the =
modern recipes."
Today's marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, =
gum arabic and flavoring.=20
Extract from:=20
Viable Herbal Solutions=20
On May 14, 1920, a small article appeared in the Lynn, =
Massachusetts, Daily Evening Item announcing that two young men, H. =
Allen Durkee and Fred L. Mower, both graduates of Swampscott High and =
veterans of the United States Infantry in World War I, had formed a =
partnership in the manufacture of Marshmallow Fluff. The actual date =
that they started working together is hard to pin down, because they had =
been making candies together before they started making Fluff. The =
company numbered two men in those days, and they started out cooking =
their confections in the kitchen at night and selling them door to door =
in the daytime.=20
One thing good about Marshmallows you could pack them and they would =
not break

Is that "preferred dog to salmon" or "dog over salmon?" That can be
