Thanks for every thing Arch. Talk o Texas okra pickles are now regular table fare here. The Journals of Lewis and Clark are intriguing . This land was once a pristine place undisturbed by human activity. I'm reading about a half hour each morning before I have to join life. Some how I wish I lived back in time. Things are so complicated now. It used to be that a man with a good rifle an axe and a bowie knife could make his way. Things sure changed in a little over 200 years.

You got that right. How I wish I could just do my job and be left alone. I have to be licensed bonded carry more insurance than I can afford. I have to take classes I live in fear of OSHA. It used to be all I needed was blue sky. The government will probably take that away too.

We eat an immensity of meat. It requires 4 deer an Elk and a deer, or one Buffalo, to supply us plentifully for 24 hours. Meat now forms our food principally, as we reserve our flour, parched meal, and corn as much as possible for the Rocky mountains, which we are shortly to enter, and where, from the Indian account, game is not very abundant.

Yes he is known far and wide for his hearty appetite. Being a Marine must take a good deal of energy so I would not begrudge him a Buffalo carcass on which he could dine.

CBT, when you finish that book find a copy of "The Frontiersmen", the story about Simon Kenton and Tukumssa in Ohio. If you like Lewis and Clark you'll love this true story about the first w****s to move east of the Appalachian mountains.
