Other dyestuffs were also utilized such as: Prussian blue, woad, and chemic. Woad was utilized in Europe before the Dutch imported the East Indian Indigo during the later part of the 16th century. According to the Smithsonian, woad (isatis tinctoria) was more than likely the first blue dye used in America, but then indigo became more common after 1700. Both required fermentation and both contained the ingrediant indigotin. Some amount of Woad, for dying, was grown on the eastern seaboard around Ct. but most was imported from Holland and France. Chemic is also known as Saxon Blue or Indigo sulfate it was a concoction of indigo powder being treated with sulferic acid but it had a short lifespan and would consequently fade more readily than regular indigo or woad. Its application was easier than the other two and I guess the simplicity is the reason for its utility. Prussian blue was another one of the earliest chemical dyes used in America. It was made by combining prussiate of potash with iron salt. The salt in this case acts like the mordant and the other the dye. Though not a professional, I have recipes for different color dyes if anybody is interested.

Not so much in dollars, but in time. Making the time to search the wealth of information that is available, making the time to try a task in the way it would have been done by someone back then, making the time to get outside and live without the modern trappings, making the time (and risk?) to try something that may not turn out well the first go round, and taking the time to learn from other brothers, as everyone, from pilgrim to greybeard, has something to share. In a few years I have come a very long ways and I am just at the beginning of a long trail without an end point. Yes, I have spent my share of money on something, only to learn later that it wasn't exactly correct. I submit that many others will likely admit the same. I have attended any number of doin's where there is something chronologically (if not blatantly) incorrect but rather than being disturbed I just try to learn from the experience. Every time I cut a corner (yes there have been some), I lose out. Through these efforts and mistakes, I do not recall ever being judged, only kindly educated. Is all this worth it? Many would conclude that it is not. For a few, there is no doubt that it is worth every minute (or dollar) spent. This is one of those things where wealth cannot guarantee success and ultimately you are only measured by your own expectations. National events are great, but they are not the real destination.

Walt,

What I wrote is not a "story," but a quote
directly from Ann Hafen, a far
better historian than I.  The best part of it is
that I didn''t have to rely
on remembering anything.  I looked it up and
quoted chapter and verse,
straight from the book to the list.  That is how
I understand the concept of
documentation.  Unfortunately, too many folks on
this list "remember" things
that just ain't so once the book gets opened.  If
we could all add a
reference to our comments instead of just
spouting opinions, comments from
failed memories, this list would be a lot more
attractive to those with a
genuine interest in documented history.

I don't know who you saw in the picture in the
early Buckskinner book but I
can tell you, I do not have the honor of being
that person.  My address and
contact information is below.  As for countering
Allen in Fort Hall Country,
I can't make that jump.  First, there is nothing

sufficiently for me to agree that Jean Baptiste
could be classified as such.  
Finally, I totally agree with Allen.

That is, line 'em up and shoot 'em? ===== deafstones As I was walking up the stair I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd stay away.

Crawford" Subject: MtMan-List: Knife query redux Friends, The knife query never got answered. The thread went off on another tangent before folks could respond. I'm posting the original query again just in case anyone never saw it. Thanks, HBC A student of mine showed me a photo of a knife with a antler handle. The blade has an interesting marking near the base. There is a "V" and an "R" with a crown in between, indicating that it was possibly made in the time of Victoria. The manufacturer's name, Thornhill(?), is also stamped into the base of the blade. The knife is about 15 inches in overall length. Does anyone know of a English knife maker with a name similar to that, seen any other examples of the maker's work, and is anyone aware of reproductions being made of this maker's work? Please reply. Cheers, HBC ********************************** Henry B.

This logo is quite often seen on British Commonwealth items of that era. John Funk - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henry B.
