Wynn,
The paper entitled"Description of saddlery in the Renwick Exhibition," =
was
written by Ann Nelson, Utah Museum of Natural History, University of =
Utah,
Salt Lake city, Utah 84112.
The Renwick exhibition was a collection of saddles from the Department =
of
Anthropology, private owners, and the National Museum of History and
Technology.
As far as the research, these saddles were thoroughly examined by the,
Anthropology Conservation Laboratory, and the Smithsonian Conservation
Analytical Laboratory.
Although the paper is entitled as mentioned, the upper right hand corner =
of
each page says"Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology."
Unfortunately the paper I have is only a partial copy of the whole,
omitting the native saddles, and others of later manufacture. If you =
would
like a copy of the pages that I have, I will be glad to send them to =
you.

I have read of the voyaguers using tumplined loads for
portages, but I can't put my finger on just where I read it.
I recall that I read it because I was struck by the size of
the bundles that were portaged. One assortment was hefted,
the othe was tumplined. Like 100 kilo of goods, over sketchy
trails, usually inclined and exposed.
Voyaguers didn't have horses, and weren't mountain men, but
they were integral to the fur trade until Ashley took to the
Platte and Sweetwater 'sted of the upper Missouri. Do you
think that he suddenly forgot about years of working up the
rivers with trade goods? Sometimes I wonder at how some
views of the RM fur trade seem to grow it in a vacuum, shut
off from the rest, and the history, of the fur trade. Short
of those who came to the mountains from south of Santafee
(thus excluding the St. Louis > Santafee traders) the youth
of most of the mountain men had a large "on the river and
riverfront" component. There they learned from what they
saw, and if anyone posits that they didn't see voyaguers,
well then they saw, and learned from others who did.

What's nice about a tumplined bundle in hilly country, is
that it shifts easily from back, for going uphill, to front
for downill, or above the head for moving through brush.

Not all that bad, though, if packed well. My New Improved
Haversack usually hold some small goods, but most are rolled
into my blankets which the haversack buckles around. What
makes it more tolerable is that the way that you "wear" the
haversack can be adapted to deal with terrain, fatigue, and
other burdens. It works well tumplined when heading uphill.
Sorry that I still have not been able to provide the cite
that the original poster asked for. It's an interesting
subject, though.
