I wonder what he would think if he could see it now? It will last through the winter season and still be good as it gets drier and drier. It is a neat way to handle flour on the move or while parked some place and BTW I suggest you try the regular white flour first and then try some other kinds. What ever is in your area may closer to the original than the regular white flour is. The shape of your pot is just right for batches of parched corn. If the weather was like today and the past few days back in 1837 when camp broke then, watch close, the beaver men are working the streams headed south and west working your way.

This is the most abundant available root(s) along the Yellowstone and was especially thick between the mouth of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone and Park City, Montana area where initial camp was started in October 1836 to where the stockade/fort was built to fend off possible Indian attack on the north side of the river. Between these 2 locations where the large Bridger mountain man camp was located a large number of springs that did not freeze over during the winter were strung out all along the Yellowstone. A great advantage for a winter camp. The reason I say was is because the bulk of the springs are gone and the long sloughs and straight runs into the Yellowstone are disappearing to. Only a few remain from the time of the Bridger's big winter camp here ending about now. I wonder what it was that got them stuck eating roots for 10 days. A storm? One of those time when games is not to be found anywhere in the hunting area available? Camas and Thistle made up the bulk of the answers. Nice try and thanks for playing a bit of an educational game with me. Next time.

I finally narrowed the search parameters downt to; (spectacles,glasses) wire I also purchased a pair from Townsends, but alas, they made my already wide face even more hideious than it normally is. In the end I found a pair of broken antique frames, had them fixed, and popped in my prescriptions... total cost about $100. Without the glasses, I would not be able to enjoy what I do.
