I am currently reading a mountain man themed fiction novel. Note: I said fiction. While a good story that borrows on a lot of historical facts, the author is using some worn out not so real ideas. e.g. He promotes the notion that mountain men only used real Hawken rifles.
However, he also includes some scenes that have me scratching my head where he got these ideas. :youcrazy: The one that bothers me the most is during their camps they cook meat over the fire holding it with their ramrods. :shocked2: A nutso thing to do in my opinion. Sure way to burn up and ruin that life saving wiping stick. Oh, well. Still a fun read.
