Subject: MtMan-List: book source

for out of print books I've had good luck with:
www.interloc.com
You can searchby topic  or can list the title or
author.  I've found
a number of books through this service.  Its a
joint effort
of a number of book dealers.  If you find a title
you want there
is a listing of each volume for sale, with
condition and price and
the name of the dealer.

*chuckles* As soon as the 2d mortgage is approved on the house so I can get
the film developed, they will be on my "Ronnyvous" web site.  Seriously, by
Tuesday or Wed they will be on the site.  I have to pick them up and then
scan them in.  There wasn't any information available on the pieces, but I
may be able to write and get some.  I didn't take pictures of all of the
trade guns with rear sights, just 6 or so of the best examples.  Depending
on how the pix turn out, and what kind of printer you have, just DL the
photo and print it.  I usually get great results with that. My site is
located at:
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/1427    It will be under a
separate page listed in the index.

While you boys are looking up books, you might want to find a copy of
Washington Irving's "Adventures of Captain Bonneville"  For those of you who
have not read the book, it's a narration of Capt Bonneville's near three years
(1833-35) of travel in the Rocky Mountains and provides an outstanding view of
what it was like. I'm close to finishing the book but find myself rereading
paragraphs and whole chapters for the details.
Washington, (Bonneville) points out that besides the "free trapper" and "hired
or company trapper" there was another.....  "There is an inferior order who,
either from prudence or poverty, come to these dangerous hunting grounds
without horses or accoutrements, and are furnished by the traders. These, like
the hired trappers, are bound to exert themselves to the utmost in taking
beaver, which , without skinning, they render in at the trader's lodge, where
a stipulated price for each is placed to their credit. These, though
generally included in the generic name of free trappers, have the more
specific title of skin trappers."
Any trapper that has tried to skin a beaver, or for that matter, an otter or
wolverine know, they don't give up the hide without a lot of work! I would
have an Indian in western Alaska skin the beavers for the meat and considered
it a fair trade.
Anyway, the book is a must read for folks like us......
