I've ordered 3 tents from Panther... 10x10 wall, a 12x14 wall, and a Giant Bell Wedge, and never had to wait more than 3 weeks MAX. Also, tents have all been of excellent quality, with nary a leak, etc... The 12x14 sttod up in 40-60 mph winds at the Alifia River Ronnyvous in January no sweat. Course, "I" was sweatin it a mite... but the tent (and Panther) dinna let me down...

The 1st is in "The Sketchbook on the Tents of the Fur Trade" by Samuel L. Darby on page 8. Although this not a 1st hand source, he mentions other sources which are. The other I am readily aware of is a painting by Alfred Jacob Miller titled, "Our Camp." It is plate 37 in the book, "Alfred Jacob Miller, Artist on the Oregon Trail." In the background is a tent that looks like it might be a Pyramid.

I have never heard the story of how you got your name . Love to hear it. We have a LARGE wall tent that my husband has rope all over it to keep it from flapping in the wind. It is very roomy and comfortable. We just got a little wedge tent that is also perfect for weekenders for the two of us. We can even fit three in it pretty comfortably if Laura goes with us. Wall tent is from Panther, the wedge is from Spring Valley, both are very reliable companys.

Seems to work fine. As you say, once a spark has caught, the char is near impossible to put out!

We had 14 members and prospective members in attendance. Weather good, some light rain, several nights cold, but a good time. Went on and gave the next boshway, Larry Pendelton, 40 or so dollars to purchase stamps and things, so that should help him next year. We all kept expecting you to come in any minute. Hope all is well. I am leaving to go to Orlando and will be gone for the entire week(business). Will contact you when I get back with a full report, since you are the "official scribe". Have a good day. Brothers, Tim Oh, it just dawned upon me why you did not make it, did not have pork chops. ------------------------------ End of hist_text-digest V1 #20 ****************************** - To unsubscribe to hist_text-digest, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe hist_text-digest" in the body of the message.
