Subject: MtMan-List: bear baiting and gals
Thanks for the responses about bear baiting. I had never heard of that
'sport' previously. Musta took a lota garbonzos to rope a griz.
As to the women of Monteray, the book The River of the West, written by
Fuller was from notes she took while Joe Meek verbally related his
experiences to her.
The bear baiting reference was from a lay over in Monteray during the
winter of 1833-34 by part of the fur company Meek was part of.
The women are described thusly, "The dress of the women was a gown of
gaudy calico or silk, and a bright colored shawl, which served for mantila
and bonnet together. They were well formed with languishing eyes and soft
voices; and doubtless appeared charming in the eyes of our band of trappers,
with whom they accosciated freely at fandangoes, bull-fights, or
bear-baitings."
Wow. Don't think I would have wanted to move on either.

Laura underwent additional surgery today at Duke U. Hospital to remove
another tumor that reformed in the same spot as the original one. We have
not heard anything about how today's operation went. We will forward any
news we get.

Just received and read the Fort Union Symposium Proceedings. The paper by
Clay Landry on the Price of Beaver -A Study of the Goods Traded to the Rocky
Mountain Trapper by The American Fur Company, 1828-1840. The paper was
shortened to cover only 1829 & 1830 was great information source. But Clay

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Bent's Fort Doin's
Sorry list,
I deleted the wrong files yesterday. Can someone "remind" me of the dates of
the doin's at Bent's Fort? Y'all were talking about how correct the clothing
had to be etc. Winter I believe.
Thank You.
YMOS,
Kevin Pitman

Klahowya hyas sikhs, (How do you do great friends)

Nika ticky iskum kumtux elip kloshe wawa (I want to learn better talk)
Help klahowyum nika. (help poor me)

In other words, is anyone interested in learning some jargon through email
notes? The trade dialect has been around long before Lewis and Clark.
