I am not sure where I saw it....have been reading stuff on florida history
during that time period again... but
even down here, it got downright cold... there was mention somewhere, [sigh,
think I saw it in a book at USF recently] that they wrapped blanket strips
around the hands leaving the fingers free. my next thought was what about
frostbite...

Hi Don.
In the Mountain Man's Sketch book, by Mr. Hanson, there are two patterns
that might be of interest to you. First is a pair of Shoshoni smoked
buckskin gloves. Then on the following page it shows Canadian Indian mittens
made of red wool blanketing. I hope this helps. See ya in the mountains.

Look at the number of books on Pennsylvania clothing, one of them shows wool knit half mittens (fingers uncovered) with an outer pair of wool blanket ones full size mittens and a cord attached to go over the neck.

Someone tell me where I saw that great article by Allen Chronister on beads
of the period. Was it in Muzzle loader or the Muzzle Blasts? Great up to
date information on beads and he also, or that is where it is, the new
edition of Buckskinning 8.
