I can give detailed information about each one if you want. Each hide is chrome/alum tanned and very supple. Again, these are back halves and have short hair. I just have too many than I can use. Never thought I would say that 20 years ago when I first started buckskinning. Anyway, I will personally guarentee each of them. If they are not what you expected, just return them for a refund. I will have full hides later that are good for camping. Of course, we have some really nice winter robes also. Each robe has lifetime cleaning and reconditioning, that's the robes lifetime for you "old" folks. Thanks Joe You know I have a pile of elk and deer hair on hides I would like to get rid of. Used for film backgrounds and camping, these are OK for tipi floor rugs. Just put the hair side down to repel moisture. These have rub spots and loose hair, therefore won't sell in our store. Have a lot of them. Deer run $25 -$35, elk are $65 to $95.

Given that Tony and I were best friends/brothers for 25 years before his untimely death, I can assure you his enjoyment (sometimes over-enjoyment) of the spirits started well (about 45 years) before his bout with cancer. In addition to spending almost every day with him after he got sick, prior to that, I'd seen him dance with the desert, dance with the water and after he started buxkskinning, dance with wood. Now I know every day he's dancing with the Lord.

Let me know what length you would like and I will get you a price. Pricing ranges for steer horns from $5.00 a pair to $125.00 a pair for the really large ones. I garauntee the horns that means if you get them and don't like them then send them back and I will refund your money. I have yet to do this since everyone has been satisfied. visit my info site at www.angelfire.com/ga/alionatemysister. Good Luck Frank V.

One of the items of clothing that shows up on fur trade inventory lists is 'jockey caps', but I have nothing more than a guess as to what these caps looked like (i.e. like modern jockey's caps, which are shaped like baseball caps). On the web, I've found statements that Rogers Rangers wore jockey caps, but no descriptions of them. One web site noted that they were originally cut down from tricorns. Can anyone help me with a reliable description of the jockey caps worn by Rogers Rangers?

Most of the people that have walnut trees in their yards, were more than happy to have me come by and pick as many as I wanted for free off of the ground... However, if you need some right away, you might try: Allegro Natural Dyes P.O. Box 7247 Boulder, Co 80306 (303) 247-0784 Or try a WWW search for "Natural Dye", or "Dye Stuff" Good luck, - -Lee Cardon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 00:00:45 EDT From: TrapRJoe@aol.com Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Black Walnut Almost any trapping supply house.
