Subject: Re: MtMan-List: More Mules!
Hi Allen,
You might enjoy the Hafen book French Fur Traders & Voyageurs in the
American West. The index shows 10 listing for mules. And it has a rich
introduction by Janet Lecompte. On page 16, Introduction, "By 1834 the fur
trade had shifted from beaver to buffalo, from the mountains to the plains,
and from trappers to traders." The geography of your post below seems to
indicate the North Platte route west. This is the same year the American
Fur Company took over the Rendezvous from those who carried on from the
original hands starting with Ashley 1822. Great book well worth reading.
Including links to Martin Chittenden, who spent six years scanning fur trade
papers, estimated that at least four-fifths of approximately five thousand
men in the American fur trade were of French-Canadian or Mississippi Valley
Creole background pg. 11.
Cheers,
Walt

Subject: MtMan-List: Miller's sketches
Hallo the List,
Does anyone know where the original sketches done by Alfred Miller are
located? I think someone once said they were in France somewhere, and I've
got a kid over there that would take some pictures of them, if she knew where
to go....
Ymos,

Subject: MtMan-List: Working a hat without messing it up.
Ho Camp,
I know that many of you who portray both free trappers and long hunter types
of each respective period wear wool felt hats as part of your gear. I
recently bought a good wool felt hat blank and it was shipped it a box that
sort of warped the brim. I wanted to straighten/shape it, but thought I
would ask if anyone knew a way to do this without damaging the hat. I have
many times started out to do something in a seemingly innocuous way only to
learn a very expensive lesson.
Thought maybe some of you have messied with shaping hats before and could
offer some advice!
Thanks,

On your hat ,try steaming it.Use a old coffee are tea pot and let the steam
hit the area you would like to fix. A steam iron will also work ,hope this
help.

C. Kent, I have restored hats using water, and also using
rubbing alcohol in an atomizer (recommended by a friend). I simply laid
the hat out on something to lay flat on and wet it, then let it dry.If you want
a slightly down turned shape to the brim try laying the hat on a pillow, or some
such. Hope this helps. hardtack
