Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Any Alabama Brothers out there?
Tassee, Forgot to include this info in the previous post: there are also
lots of events in the TN, MO, AR and NM areas. If you think your dad might be
interested, let me know off-list and I'll get the info to you. Also, he
might be interested in a rag like the Smoke & Fire News. Info on their stuff
is available online at
<A HREF="http://smoke-fire.com/IE40/meat.htm">The Smoke & Fire Co.</A> Not
only a good newspaper, but also good plunder available from them. yhs,

Subject: MtMan-List: AMM Tomahawk & Long Rifle journal
List readers,
Have talked to Bill Cunningham (editor of Tomahawk & Long Rifle) and I stand corrected on number of journals published each year, with additional subscriptions of interested parties we may get to be a bi-monthly publication in time. But for now you will receive quarterly issues - Feb, May, Aug, Nov,.
Get a subscription to a journal of the fur trade and early history of the times, the one the American Mountain Men read and write:
The Tomahawk & Long Rifle
3483 Squires
Conklin, MI 49403
ATTN: Jon Link
The subscription for the journal is $20 for a year or $35 for two years. Give it a try, you'll blow that much in a couple of stops at 7-11 for junk food.

AMM has something over 500 members at present, it began with 5 good men. We are approaching 2000 member numbers issued over the years.
The only way to join is to be sponsored by a party, two bosslopers or one
hiveranno. We take sponsorship very seriously, as we are first a brotherhood.
Until we've been on the ground with a prospect in all seasons, it seldom happens. We are each personally responsible to all the other brothers for the
people we sponsor.
There was a time when most anyone could join by asking and that brought a few
problems. Now sponsorship is the only way to join, it is not problem free.
Sometimes it's difficult to make location & schedules coincide to where you
become well enough acquainted with one or more of us to be invited to join.
In some areas there are very active parties and joining up through one of them
isn't as difficult as happening to know a member and becoming close enough for
them to know you well enough to offer membership, and when necessary
find you a second sponsor. The best way that can happen is to spend time
together on the trail.
Dean Rudy tries to find someone close by to contact when someone requests
information about joining. Sometimes that works out and sometimes it doesn't.
It is a group of individualists some of whom are pretty set in their ways. Some winter alone very nicely.
To give you an idea of how we're spread out; there is an active party about
250 miles East of me, there is one other member within 100 miles North, and one
more another 100 miles on up the road. Its 300 miles South and 500 miles West
to find more. I don't get to see any of them often. Joining is often not something easily planned, those who belong find their way to us sooner or later.
