Something suitable for an office wall, which would allow me to see where I really want to be.... Mountain man, War of 1812, Rev.

Scott Click here http://www2.tok2.com/home/kaji/cal/cal.cgi?1827 for a number of early 19th century calendars. The catch is that only the dates/days are given, no "hang on the wall' calendars are there. However, there are numerous calendar software packages that enable you to make your own calendars using any art you want. I have toyed with the idea of making some calendars and your post might kick me into gear to do it soon. I am about to purchase a top quality printer and vintage looking calendars would be a nice first project. There are collectors of antique calendars around, but my guess is that any really desirable calendars are pricy. Get on Google.com and start digging.

Here is a copy of a message just sent to the Southeastern News letter. Thanks so much for helping to get the word out about the Fire Inspectors Order. I personally find it hard to believe that the Fire Inspector will have the time to inspect 1000 camps personally. The Florida Frontiersmen don't have to man power to so. I imagine that the Traders especially the food vendors will have the worst of it! Any way at the meeting this weekend the Florida Frontiersmen's President passed on this recipe for a Fire Retardant: Fire Retardant 9 oz. 20 Mule Team Borax 4 oz. Boric Acid 1 gal. Luke warm water Spray or paint onto canvas. I would assume that it will last longer...not wash off if you apply to the inside of canvas. Keep your receipts as proof. If you were at the Alafia last year and saw the big fire that consumed the food vendor tent, Jack Hall's, then I'm sure you will agree it's better to be safe than sorry. The Hall's were very lucky in that no one was in the tent when the propane tank burst into flame!! I love historical events, it's what most of us live for...but we have to use our modern knowledge to keep ourselves safe so we can make it to the next event.

Propane is very unforgiving. It makes far more sense to me to require anyone wishing to use propane (or any other pressurized fuel) to have their setup inspected and approved by someone knowledgeable, plus their shelter should be retardant but a fire retardant shelter does not guarantee there won't be a fire. My oilcloth diamond fly is about as combustable as a shelter can get, but I don't burn stuff under it or near it. I guess I'll sprinkle some borax on it and call it good? I really doubt it will be possible for either the local fire mashall or the Florida Frontiersman to enforce this new plan but at least I feel safer knowing that some government agency cares about my well being. In some not-too-distant year, a wind-blown shelter will injure someone, resulting in a new requirement that all stakes be driven to a depth not less than 36 inches and load tested.

Hello Brothers,    As you may know, the A.M.M. is selling David Wrights recently released print "Climbing the Western Slope", published by Gray Stone Press.  This is a signed and numbered edition, 995 copies available.  I can send anyone a picture of the print and an order form via e-mail, all you have to do is ask. I also have full color brochures available by mail, again for the asking.  I sent a letter, order form, and a few brochures to every Brigade Booshway, you can contact yours, too.  The prints sell for $165 (including shipping).  The A.M.M. gets to keep $50 of this for the Land fund.  We can buy them for ourselves, or sell to others. Just make sure the order forms go through me, the Land fund clerk, so that we get our cut.  As an incentive to sell to others, Mike Powell (UT) has offered to make a 4 pt. Whitney Capote for whoever sells the most copies of the print by Dec. 31, 2002.  So, take a copy of the pic, and some order blanks to your next rendezvous, living history event, etc....  Sell some prints- get a chance to be wearing a custom capote next year- AND help out the Land Fund all at the same time. 
   Help me spread the word on this PLEASE.  This is a great opportunity for us, thanks to our brother David Wright.
Let me know if you need more info., brochures, e-mail pic and order form, etc....

All the other fires were were mostly in tipis that burned because of carelessness with camp fires. So lets not blame the propane only in this situation. We all must remember that an unattended fire or that little bit of grease will catch the camp on fire. A couple of the fires were from good old cooking fires and people who put floors over straw for more comfort and that caught on fire. So we are all responsible for making sure we do not burn down our own or others camps.
