Don,
If you have a copy of Ashley's Book of Knots you might follow the directions
a bit better by looking on page 14 at the simple slip knot and on page 324
at illustration number 1989 as an example of how to use it to your flag
purposes but I will try to explain.
Your flag will have two grommets at top and bottom inside corners. Pre-make
a couple of "toggles" or two pointed sticks with a grove cut round the
center of each, stout enough to take a strain, say about the size of your
index finger with the groove cut about a quarter of the stick diameter into
the stick all around.
Into your flag halyard, tie a slip knot at the location for the top grommet
and pass the "loop" the knot forms through the grommet and then pass one of
the toggles through the loop. When you pull the halyard tight the loop will
try to back out of the grommet but will be held by the toggle and thus will
be locked in place at that location.
Proceed to tie another slip knot at the appropriate location for the bottom
grommet on your ensign and again pass the formed loop through the grommet
and the second toggle through that loop of halyard, pull tight and there you
have it.
You can probably get by with any handy short length of stick for the toggle
but it would be a workman like job if they were carved from good wood in the
form indicated.
You could also tie a permanent loop in the halyard for each toggle location,
with a smaller lanyard coming off the main line, securing each toggle at
that location for future use, eliminating the necessity of finding a new
stick each time. The two toggle lanyards would come off the flag halyard and
be secured to each toggle through a hole at one end and of course made of
much smaller line.
If you need further explanation I am your Servant Sir.

Howdy Cap'n,
Thanks for the note on the correct knots for flying "Old Glory".
She will be flying proudly over the trading post and when I'm at events,
She will be flying high and proud over my camp.
Long live America with the Grace of God our Sovereign.
Your friend,

Subject: MtMan-List: Books of Buckskining
Hello the Camp,
I have wondered while looking through the Books of Buckskining, that a lot
of the arcticles have been writen by AMM Members, I also know that a lot of
knowledge men and ladies are on this list.
Why could we not publish a series of books on our combined knowledge? And
with that money help pay for the land. I think Allen Hall has this same idea
and I think it is a good one.

Subject: MtMan-List: Steam boat uncovered in a corn field?
Gentelmen,
A few years ago I saw a blerb on TV about a Steam Boat that had sunk and
they had found it in a corn field? Is there a report on it? a Web site, how
about a list of the things found on it? I think that it went down in the
1830's. Does anyone have any Knowledge?

Ole, it was the Arabia, I believe. It is on dispay in Kansas City, MO. It
sank and the river over the years changed its course and it eneded up about
a mile-and-a-half in a farmers corn field. Might try using www.google.com
and type in kansas city. Its in the old town area. Great display they have
there. The display literally shows tens of thousands of items found on the
boat...

Hi Ole,
My Mother-in-Law was at a convention in KC this last summer and visited the
Museum. She brought back a bunch of pics and info. Here is the link to the
web site.

I guess I missed it. Who's this Laura person and why is she in need of
ribs? Is she seriously injured from an accident or is it some illness?
Please restate the problem for those of us who don't monitor this list as
closely as some.
