Subject: MtMan-List: The Alamo

Several months back there was some controversy stirred up about getting
a plaque erected at the site in honor of the 9 Tejanos who fought
shoulder-to-shoulder with the ~176 Texians (Groneman's book on A
Genealogy of the Alamo Defenders names each one).  Haven't heard how
this turned out.  Anybody on the list know?  muchos gracias.

Thanks Henry, I was really beginning to wonder if my edition was just an
apparition.  Interesting comment about the plagarism since the Vol IV article is by
the same author.

The book "Naked Into The Wilderness, Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival
Skills" by John and Geri McPherson has a very well laid out and illustrated
chapter on cordage, and I believe they have also put out a pamphlet on just
that one chapter. It is published by Prairie Wolf  P>O>Box 96, Randolph,
Kansas  66554.            Barn

Subject: MtMan-List: Osborne Russell, "Journal of a Trapper"

For those of you that have worn out your paperback copy of Russell's Journal of a Trapper, I recently found a hardback copy.

It is published by MJF Books
Fine Communications
Two Lincoln Square
60 West 66th Street
New York, NY 10023
ISBN 1-56731-173-3

This edition is published by arrangement with the University of Nebraska Press

A nice gift for the hard-to-buy-for mountaineer on your Christmas list.
