Subject: MtMan-List: Hafen's MM & the Fur Trade series for sale
This Sunday evening, March 11, the Pikes Peak Library Dist. will be having a
fund-raiser auction and one of the items up for bid is the complete set of
mint-condition Hafen ed., MOUNTAIN MEN & THE FUR TRADE (reportedly unstamped,
unmarked and pristine in every way.)
I would buy these myself, but I just don't have the money right now. Opening
bid is set at $500 (a steal at the going rate) anybody wanting to bid on
these ought to contact Colo. Sprgs book dealer Doug Clausen at 719-471-5884.
I would just prefer seeing these books go to a private fur-trade scholar
rather than seeing them snapped up by a Denver book dealer.
Good luck,
John R. Sweet

No, I don't suppose lions are any sort of a problem in Georgia, but when they
stroll past my kid's bus stop at 8AM in the morning, like they did last
Spring, and the local CO Dept. of Wildlife gal is completely unconcerned
about it (and won't even call me to go catch this human-habituated lion,
despite the fact that I've got the dog power to get it done) then we start to
recognize a problem.
The town I live in is 110 years old, and the lion walked right thru the
middle of it, so I don't think human encroachment displaced this lion and
forced him into town. Perhaps increased human contact caused him to lose a
healthy fear of man. But lions should be pursued aggressively, harvested to
the limit of current morality quotas (which they aren't in CO or WY, et.
al.), and enjoyed from afar.

Hi Dianne,
We own a .36 (and it uses a .36 ball) Pedersoli Pennsylvania rifle (one of
the old ones) and it works well. I replaced the main spring (no problem
getting parts) as the original was cracked. But after that it works and
looks great. We have a friend that shoots a .32 at all the local shoots and
even out to 75 yards he is always in the money and loves it. In fact he
likes his so much that he convinced another club member who was getting his
first flinter to buy the .45 you are interested in. He got his from Kennedy
Arms last fall and I helped him sight it in. Out of the box it shot tight
groups and looked and worked well (after I got him a real flint that fit the
lock). Fit and finish was real nice and for the price it is a good buy.
Should give you years of fun.
Y.M.O.S.

Walt, I was talking about the tallow. If it is purified (probably not =

You are lucky. I have never managed to get good tasting tallow from =

I have access to buffalo nearby. And have been wanting to try it on =
pemmican. Maybe this year.
I have been really intrigued about the pemmican trade and the buffalo =

the robe and pemmican trade really took off during the 1830s between =
these 2 rivers.
