Hi Angela,

No real beef here.  I watched the elk and buffalo across the way this
morning at sunrise.

For those people who are interested in the history between the missouri and
yellowstone rivers.  Fort Union is having there big event June 14 through
the 17th of this year 2001.

Did you know Fort Union had a cast iron foundry?  It will be fun to followup
on this information this spring.

Walt

Larry,

I've been (amongst the thousand other things) hoping
to do some study on this topic, bein's I live amongst
these little winged devils for most of the year. Right
now I use a hand-stitched net shaped like an inverted
box which is made of a very tight but breatheable material
called scrim. It is 100% cotton and unbleached. It is
extremely light and highly effective.  It's intended purpose
is for the backing of curtains.  I have no documentation,
to head off the inevitable question, but I am hoping to
eventually determine what (or if) material of this type
would have been at least commonly available at the time
and places of interest.

I found this list of links today, and thought it was an awesome source to
link to historical info, supplies, weapons, clothing, accoutrements,
publications, personal web pages and on and on.

If this type of posting is improper, please accept my apology.    Barney

Attended the Georgia COHT first ever hog hunt yesterday and had a very =
good time.  Did not see any hogs but did find some very good hog sign.  =
I would not have been starvin if it was 150 years ago as I had a few =
very nice shots at deer, had a mess of turkeys sneaking around a few =
good shots at monster woodcocks just sittin there.

Found a beautiful bend in the Etowah that I just had to sit down and =
take in the moment. It could have been 1801 in that moment and I do not =
think anything would have been different.  I did however wonder, If I =
had shot a hog, how in the hmmmm was I going to get it out of the woods. =
 Better have been a small one.

As usual in Georgia, 1pm  when we met up with the other hunters the heat =
was a bit up there.

We sat around and talked of important stuff like guns, gear and other =
events.  We ended the afternoon with shooting our front loaders at a can =
on a stick a ways off.  To my surprise, I pegged it.  All in all it was =
a great day.
