Pollack was wise to do this. If you try and stick to the historical and
then eliminate the harsh elements in order to make a more likable character,
you'll just anger the historians. Better to change the name and call it "in
the spirit of".

Hello the list,I just ran across these sites that look like they contain some good information. Between the two sites there are over 2,000,000 pages of primary source books, periodicals and other documents from 1800 to the very early 1900's. I haven't had time to check anything out thoroughly but a quick browse and search look pretty promising (just a search for "trappers" turned up references in 448 documents). You can view as individual pages or as whole documents, either as actual scanned pages or in transcribed text.Both sites are called The Making of America, http://moa.umdl.umich.edu/http://moa.umdlcumichl.edu/moa/
I remain y.m.h.s. Tim tjewell@home.com
