Dennis,
I was wondering about that one myself. The claim of 17th to 18th century
seemed a bit generous to me, but I know not about these matters. Do
you suppose that early to mid 19th century is more believable, or do you
think it's even younger than that?

Thanks Dennis,
I think I know what you mean. "Modern" to me can be 1890's.

<p>At this wonerful time of the year, remember those of the past and present,
loved ones and friends, God Bless them all.
<p>We've given you a little history of what was going on with the Corp
of Discovery under the direction of Lewis & Clark.
<p>On Christmas Eve, the temperature climbed above zero - and almost above
freezing. Fort Mandan was deemed officially complete, and the captains
handed out dried apples, pepper, and extra flour for the next day's meal
and celebration.
<p>Just before Christmas dawn, the captains were awakened by the men, all
if them, Clark noted,<i> "merrily disposed."</i>
<p><i>December 25th, 1804.</i>
<br><i>We ushed [in] the morning with a discharge of the Swivvel
[gun], and one round of Small arms of all the party. Then another from
the Swivvel. Then Capt. Clark presented a glass of brandy to each man of
the party.</i>
<p><i>We hoisted the american flag, and each man had another Glass of brandy.</i>
<p><i>The men prepared one of the rooms and commenced dancing. At 10 o'c

all without the company of the female Seck [sex].</i>

Joseph Whitehouse
<p>The mandans were asked not to visit the fort on Christmas because, the
captains explained, it was a "great medicine" day for the expedition. But
on New Year's, the men celebrated with their Indian hosts.
<p>
*************
<br>New YearÆs Day
<p><i>January 1st, 1806.</i>
<br><i>Our repast of this day, tho' better than that of Cristmass, consisted

Meriwether Lewis.
<p>Men were put to work making candles, boiling ocean water for salt, preserving
elk meat in a smokehouse, and sewing clothes from elk hides for the return

<p>Clark labored over a new map that would replace eastern speculation
with the hard facts of western geography.
<p>Lewis wrote page after page of descriptions of animals and plants unknown
to science-from the giant sitka spruce tree to the evergreen huckleberry;
from ring-necked ducks and whistling swans to small smelt-the candlefish-that
the men roasted and ate whole.

Does anyone know of an e-mail list somewhere that's dedicated to the Old
West? Circa later on in the century than we talk about here? I've checked
E-groups and haven't found anything on there that floats my boat yet.
