One was from a found blade that I reshaped on a grinder the other from a file that I reshaped on a grinder without heating, detempering or anything. I was a kid, what did I know? Ruint the grinder wheel, got Pop real mad. Drilled out a hole in the antler and fixed the blades in with hot hide glue. They are still solidly fixed and blades not rusty but have naturally darkened with age and use. The depressing thing is to realize that those knives are now so old as to be almost antiques.

Speculation ran from cotton to linen. It was suggested that tentage might have been made from old sail cloth, therefore what was sail cloth made from? I contacted the USS Constitution staff and after much waiting got back a copy of my original post to them with no answer. I recently reasked the question and got back "I think it was cotton but not sure. Ask the Museum". I went to the museum web page and under FAQ's got this information about construction materials. Apparently, at least as far as this ship was concerned, the sails were made of flax woven in RI. If you can afford Linen (or flax fibers woven into cloth) made into a tent or leanto shelter, you will be quit authentic.

The pottery that Tony gave you came from the new site where the mission was rebuilt. That probably comes from the trash site where broken items were discarded. The blue and white earthware pottery you have described was definitely in existance, but would have been rare in the mountains. I believe Stewart had some and there are definitely records of this type of china at various forts, but I doubt if it would have been carried out on a regular basis. If you want more info, give me a holler off line or come see us at the mission when the AMM will be there March 24 & 25. Hope this info helps and hopefully see you at Hart Canyon.

The rest is pretty Hollywoody and a fictional story. It shows all their fights with the Indians (of which there was only one) and has a lot of stuff that never happened. Just goes to show you how Hollywood can change a true story into a fairytale.
