There is a portrait of Sir William Drummond Stewart by Alfred Jacob Miller.
First, I need a description of what he's wearing that is historically correct and second, although this is a formal portrait do you think he would have had it with him at the Rendezvous of 1837 or 1838?
Second, could one of you describe for me what you think Captain Stewart might have worn on a day-to-day basis at those events.
Is nothing going on or am I having trouble? I haven't received anything
in two days.

Hey guys,
In need of a little help. Does anyone know of any paintings
around
1812 or before, residing on the frontier, preferably midwest, that show
men
with beards or mustaches?
I will be needing documentation, or pictures of this ASAP as I am
working on a presentation.
Thanks!

Hello the camp!
Over on the MLML some one asked about making Moc's and in my answer I
mentioned seeing some comment in the not too distant past about the use
of wooden shoes or "clooges" (wooden shoes with the back part cut away
like slip on's. Well B'ar Killer over there thought that was pretty
interesting and wanted to know the reference for such foot wear. I
ain't got it but I think it was discussed on this list not too far back.
Any one out there that can help us out on this? They were used in the
east in Colonial times I'm sure but can't prove it now. Help! I
remain.....

Subject: MtMan-List: In the white vs. browning vs. blueing
Okay, I felt like opening a can of worms, so I'm tossing this out to
ya'll:
My Dad is building me a gun. We're discussing all the minutae. He's
decided to buy a kit from Caywood that sound pretty great. Caywood tells
him that they can supply it in the white or blued. They say that blued
is historically accurate.
Now, my running buddies are all over me to take the blueing off my brand
new flintlock and brown it! So, I says to Dad: "I want it in the white
or browned." So Dad, being related to me, proceeds to drown me in facts
about how blued is historically accurate. Help! Dad's a great guy, and
has been shooting muzzleloaders all his life, but he's not "one of us!"
And I just don't trust a guy who won't truss his privates up in a piece
of wool! Any of you guys who've been to the Museum of the Fur Trade
care to tell me what you saw there?
Most gratefully yours,
Tassee

you might consider checking with danny caywood. seems to me he, being one of
the best in the business, would be making accurate replicas, and would be
happy to share the info with you. yhs, Barn.

There was an article in Muzzleloader last year that covered this, documented
it and showed how to do it. My wife, Sweet Cakes, is looking for it as she
wants me to do that to a pair of wooden shoes she has that got damaged. We
have all of the Muzzleloader mags fro the last few years so if I find the
article I will pass the info on.
I have a pair of wooden shoes that have the area that covers the arch of the
foot made from leather rather than the hard wood. I documented these at the
Holland Trading Company display in the main (forgot name) large museum in
Amsterdam. And as my wife's maiden name is Van Zandavoord our persona can
and do wear them at camps when the grass is cold or wet.

Sorry, Caywood and your father are correct; government contracts, tradegun contracts for the most part stated "white" or "blue" for a finish. Information on many of the gun builders built guns with metal "white" as a standard in the early years according to Kit Ravenshear, around the turn of the 19th century "browning" started to appear. Usually weapons before that may have looked "browned" or "modeled" in appearance, but were really just rusted, as starting life in the white.
I'll sure others will have different opinions, but like Hawk will tell you, look for good documentation, don't listen to uneducated guesses.
