Also, unbleached white muslin that is hand dyed in some sort of walnut hull or natural dye would be very nice. They would also have "hand-sewn" edges or left to fray. Just in case, the burlap you kept would work fine too.

Had Mike sign it also. Mike did an excellent job of presenting various aspects of the Rocky Mountaineer by using mostly primary sources, journals, narratives and ledgers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. He uses the time period 1807 thru 1845 which is 5 years beyond that is used by the AMM and most students of the RMFT. But this allows him to use some very valuable sources, Rufus Sage, Francis Parkman, and George Ruxton. They without a doubt give some of the best descriptions of the Mountaineer, his equipage and his actives. His book in paper back with 192 pages is divided into 24 short sections on various topics like, The Look, The Trappers Camp, The Other Half, Bullboats, Buffalo and Caches. Each section can be read in one sitting the cultural center. This is a top shelf book that both the new comer and the and the well studied will use again and again. The new comer will find it invaluable, saving him much reading time in his search the persona of the Mountaineer and a valuable list of should read books. The well studied will find himself trying to identify the source of the quote without checking the footnote and the bibliography at the end of each section. He will also discover some sources that he hasn't read and some that he should read again. At the end of the book is recommended reading list, not all the sources that are used are in this list, but are in the bibliography at the end of each section. Make sure and add them. I would highly recommend buying two of Mike's books. One for highlighting and adding more quotes that you discover in future studies that pertain to the section topics and one that is signed and left in an unmarked condition. I will get my second copy later this month. A copy can be had for about $21 including shipping and handling from: Mike Moore amm1616@earthlink.net 2078 South Zenobia Denver, CO 80219 303-238-4656 Good Reading your Brother Mark "Roadkill" Loader AMM #1849 Jim Baker Party Leader No Knowledge is gained from a book left unread - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ End of hist_text-digest V1 #1131 ******************************** - To unsubscribe to hist_text-digest, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe hist_text-digest" in the body of the message.
