P. Russell. Is it a good source book. I just started > research into mountain men. I have some good sources for the Rev War.. > FT&T by Carl P. Russell is an excellent material culture study of the items that allowed the mountain man to do his job. I would recommend it for any beginner or advanced Hiverano as a good reference book. Most of the object drawings are of real artifacts in museums and private collections. BTW, the original drawings for the book are in the Missouri Historical Society library at the old courthouse in St. Louis. Welcome aboard and enjoy!! WAUGH!!!!!!

Started out at Fort Henry rendezvous. Met Mike Powell, Richard Ashburn and others. It was neat to see the engraved rock at the camp site. We then headed up to Fort Union. Got a lean-to set up on Monday, June 14 and headed for Culbertson, MT. We put in there and canoed 7 mile Monday on the Missouri. The boys caught a couple of fish to add to the evening meal. Tuesday we canoed and fished all day. Again the boys caught some catfish, walleye, skip jacks (whitefish) and a sturgeon. We traveled about 14 mile Tuesday. Got a bit of rain as we set up camp, but it quit soon after. Wednesday was the final 9 mile of our trip, ending up back at Fort Union. If you have never been to Fort Union, make it a priority on your list. Great atmosphere and demos all day for 4 days. Great talks as well. Not to mention the dance Saturday night. Even got son number one to dance some. Met Beaverboy, Gene Hickman and Tim McLaughlin too. We camped in the voyager camp with Jeff and Kathy Brown from Pinedale. A great time was had by all. A forwarning to you, we will return!! It was worth the 1900 mile round trip. To any of the folks from Fort Union who may be on this list, you done yourself proud.
