Food & Provisions of the Mountain Men is a guide to historically accurate food and provisions of the fur trappers, traders, and explorers who went to the Rocky Mountains in search of the precious beaver fur and other opportunities. The author created this guide for those who participate in re-enactments of mountain man rendezvous and historical encampments. It's also for anyone interested in the lifestyles and hardships endured by these mountain men at a time when beaver fur was worth more than gold. The items presented herein have been gleaned from trappers' and explorers' journals, and diaries of travellers to the Far West, as well as trading post inventory records, and lists of provisions for the annual fur-trapper rendezvous in the 1820s and 1830s. The emphasis is on food and provisions used up to 1840, the generally accepted cutoff date for the American Fur Trade Era, that being the last year the trappers held a formal rendezvous. Use this guide to make your rendezvous larder and meals historically authentic. Wagh!
