What an awful coincidence that just a couple of weeks after I finish the last Titus Bass book and am wondering what comes next to feed my addiction this happens. I have wanted to meet Terry for years and thank him personally for the many hours of enjoyment while reading his books. It sounds like the end of the trail is near for him. If this is his final ride, I hope it's a peaceful one. Another reminder not to take friends, family or life for granted. "Teton" Todd D.

Dover sells a book that is nothing but 19th century songs. I just saw it the other day when looking for something else. They have a website and you can order directly online. A quick websearch using Dover Publications will yield the URL. For all others, it would behoove you to visit this site. They have tons of books about the fur trade by prominent authors, including L&C's journals in 3 volumes along with many other books of historical interest. All are paperbound and most run around $9.95 to $20.

Thank you Terry Johnston. My condolences and prayers to Vanette Johnston and her family, Mrs. Johnston you are a special woman to have shared terry with us and in the pages of his novels his fathomless love for you shone as bright as the sun. I was hoping Terry would be around a lot longer and share more tales with us his friends he has'nt met, not yet at least. I had to stop a while and reflect on all things in life I had taken for granted. God has blessed me with a good woman of my own and a four month old son and he is read to sleep each night to the tales of ol' Scratch. Today I shed many tears for my friend I'll meet one day, and for those who are'nt left behind somuch as follwin' the trail Terry is blazin' for us. God Bless you all, and take a little time each day to reflect on your own particular life so as it won't be left for granted. Thank you Y.M.O.S.

He has a powder horn that he thinks may have belonged to a mountain man. It is a cow horn, and it has a map of Henry's Lake & Perry's Hole; the date 1831; and the motto "If the redskins don't get me, the Devil might." He picked it up for $1 in 1981 or 1982 at a yard sale on the St. Ignatius Reservation. Now, I know next to nothing about powder horns. Does this powder horn sound like it's a genuine antique? Were cow horns used by mountain men? Are they known to have made similar horns? On the other hand, maybe it was made by a buckskinner, and perhaps somebody on this list has seen it or knows something about it. Anyway, I figured there was a chance one of you folks might be able to help this guy, so I'd appreciate any info.

Many original horns are bringing 5 figures at auction. Lacking provenance and a name, it's value is probably diminished, but not by much; however it is still a treasure if it proves to be original.

Are they known to have made similar horns?>> You bet they were!. Many brought cow horns with them and many more were trade items. A rifle and shooting pouch were the companions to most of these men for years before they ever came to the mountains and horns don't wear out that easily. If that horn came off the Res for a dollar, there is a possiblity it is that old. (I bought a whole handful of elk back-strap sinue from a Gosiute for a buck . . . no one there wanted it.) A person would have to look at it (the horn) for style, quality, etc. to make a judgement. One thing to look for is that it was formed by scraping rather than a buffer wheel. I bought a black horn at a gunshow in Burley, Idaho about 20 years ago. The guy wanted $20 - would let it go for $15. He still had it at the end of the show so I got it for ten. It had brass tacks holding the wooden plug in place. For a test I pulled one of them and to my delight it had a square brass shank - not the steel one we see today. The old, OLD tacks were cast in a single piece - all brass, square tapered shank. Conclusion: for ten bucks I had bought an original buffalo-horn powder-horn from the 1800s. So . . .
