Lynn,
Man Made Mobile is a great report on the subject, but like many other's it
doesn't go far enough in what you and I are concerned with. I have read
parts of it over and over to make sure of what I am reading. I have also
haunted many a Museum for samples. But this list is not the place that I
want to use to impart the information. I will try to get after it ASAP.

From: "Glenn Darilek" <llsi@texas.net>
Subject: MtMan-List: What's all this hello stuff anyway?
When I started attending rendezvous, I was quick to pick up the etiquette of
calling "Hello the Camp" when I first approached another camp. I maintained
this courtesy for a long time until I discovered that the word 'hello' is an
anachronism.
http://www.telect.com/corporat/diduknow.cfm
says "Alexander Graham Bell originally wanted the greeting for the telephone
to be "Ahoy" but Thomas Edison voted for "Hello," a word he coined in 1877."
http://intertique.com/little%20known%20facts.htm
says "Edison popularized the use of word "hello" as a greeting to answer the
telephone. Probably a corruption of an early word "haloo," a shout at a
distance, "hello" doesn't even appear in the English language until the
1870s. "
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6013/ff.html
says "Alexander Graham Bell suggested "Ahoy" as the routing telephone
greeting. It was changed to "hello" after Thomas Edison insisted on it."
So the proper announcement would be "Hollo" or hallo or Hallo (pronounced
like hollow) or haloo (pronounced hall ouu)

Ole,
Perhaps you (or someone) might know....How far back does the "macate" rein
date back? Some have bastardized and Anglicized the name to 'MacCarty'
today. I am told by an experienced trainer that it is "quite old" but he
can't put a rough date on it.

Crazy
The term good-by has the following definition in Noah Webster's 1828 =
Dictionary, making it "period". Lord knows how old the term is.
By or bye
In the common phrase, good-bye, bye signifies passing, going. The =

For those interested, Bob Schmidt will be at Ft Washita here in southern
Oklahoma through April 2nd, with some tack, boots, and shoes from his store,
Historical Enterprises. It is a rare opportunity, for those that don't
venture as far as the Rocky's to view his wares. I own three of his
saddles, and ride them for every day use, not just for historical events,
and they are exceptional pieces of equipment that I can reccomend without
reservation.
I hope to see anyone there that is interested in coming, myself and Bob will
be found in horsecamp.
As a sidenote; there will be a pack-rig by Historical Enterprises, given
away as a prize for most authentic horsecamp.

Not sure, but I think "Good-bye" is descended from the Medievel "God be with
you". I'm probably wrong, though.

The term good-by has the following definition in Noah Webster's 1828
Dictionary, making it "period". Lord knows how old the term is.

Subject: MtMan-List: Bonnie Lake Canoe trek
Brothers and friends,
The NW Party, NW Brigade hosted a fine little canoe run up Bonnie Lake in E
Central WA. this past weekend. Along with nice weather (for a change, snowed
last year) and great scenery I met a couple "soldiers" from the local
"Fort". Gary and Bryan were quit interested in what we do and Gary gave me
his address so we might correspond. I can't for the life of me find that
piece of paper. If your out there Gary, would you contact me?
Bonnie Lake is about 5 miles long and runs through a deep basalt canyon.
There is a nice island outcrop of granite and shale about half way up the
lake that provides a safe camping place. We made camp on the island the
first night and on Sat. morning took an exploration trip to the upper end of
the lake. Along with lots of wild life we were treated to many water falls
from the snow runoff coming down over the several "bench's" that make up the
sides of the canyon. At the upper end of the lake where the feeder stream
comes in is a beautiful grassy meadow in sparse pines that would afford a
nice camp site from which to work the upper canyon and surrounding hills for
game. There is little beaver sign but much sign of muskrats. I walked up the
little valley a ways to scout and found no sign of any other humans, Indian
or white. There was some sign of game but not a lot.
Crawdad and I returned to our island camp around mid day and dined on cold
elk roast cuts. We visited with the other temporary inhabitants of the
island Sat. afternoon. We cooked our dinner listening to several turkey
gobblers sounding off at evening. Waking up to more sounds of the gobblers
up on the east ridge calling out good morning and the many geese, ducks and
sand hill cranes echoing through the canyon, we prepared a leisure breakfast
of corn meal mush and bacon to get us on our way. We headed down lake on
Sunday late morning paddling into a moderate breeze. I remain.....

Friends,
My appologies, but I think my old brain has gotten the names of the two
young men we talked to on our Lake Trip wrong. In any case I would like to
hear from them. I remain.....

Hey Walt,
Does Jerry Farenthold still live in Red Lodge, he was at one time really
pushing their rendezvous. Haven't seen him for at least 8-10 years, when =
on a
canoe trip - hell of a good man and period cook.
Later
Concho.
