Miller) Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Vacation *chuckles* As soon as the 2d mortgage is approved on the house so I can get the film developed, they will be on my "Ronnyvous" web site. Seriously, by Tuesday or Wed they will be on the site. I have to pick them up and then scan them in. There wasn't any information available on the pieces, but I may be able to write and get some. I didn't take pictures of all of the trade guns with rear sights, just 6 or so of the best examples. Depending on how the pix turn out, and what kind of printer you have, just DL the photo and print it. I usually get great results with that. My site is located at: http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/1427 It will be under a separate page listed in the index.

I'm close to finishing the book but find myself rereading paragraphs and whole chapters for the details. Washington, (Bonneville) points out that besides the "free trapper" and "hired or company trapper" there was another..... "There is an inferior order who, either from prudence or poverty, come to these dangerous hunting grounds without horses or accoutrements, and are furnished by the traders. These, like the hired trappers, are bound to exert themselves to the utmost in taking beaver, which , without skinning, they render in at the trader's lodge, where a stipulated price for each is placed to their credit. These, though generally included in the generic name of free trappers, have the more specific title of skin trappers." Any trapper that has tried to skin a beaver, or for that matter, an otter or wolverine know, they don't give up the hide without a lot of work! I would have an Indian in western Alaska skin the beavers for the meat and considered it a fair trade. Anyway, the book is a must read for folks like us......
