MOUNTAIN DOINS by "BIG" Dave Vander Kraals Mountain manning is something that is hard to explain. It involves knowing the history of the men who started the whole thing back in the early 1800's, and developing a sense of comradeship with them in their daily pursuits. But in the modern day envisioning of this phenomena there must be something more, the spiritual aspect of being a part of the history as it is now. The of history is often harder than actually making history. It requires a great deal of study into the happenings of the mountain man. What made them do this or that? Why did they develop such an independent nature and fierce desire to keep it so? What was it that made them leave the relative safety of their homes to travel to the wild and deadly reaches of the frontier? For some it might have been riches, for others it was the adventure. But for most it was the chance to be their own men. To take chances and live their lives in the "fast land, as modern parlance might put it. Coming into the west the mountain men had to learn about the Indians and in many cases, become like them. They had to be able to hunt, kill, trap, and preserve their food. Of the many thousand men who came into the country of the Fur Trade, only a handfull lived to leave it and survive to tell about it. These are the stories that we modern mountain men read and study. And the old mountain men were an interesting lot to say the least. Robert Cleland, one of the first historians to try and preserve their history, started in the late 18601s to interview and record their partifular life style. Cleland in his book. This Reckless Breed of Men , stated that the mountain men were more than ignorant ruffians, they studied extensively, mapped territories, recorded the Indian tribes, and in many cases acted as their champions in society. The mountain men were religious and many lived their religion every day. Men such as Jed Smith who came west with Ashley in 1823, avoided the profane living of the ruffians. He was regarded very highly by the men of the Ashley Expedition for his reverence. At times, the mountain men acted as ambassadors to the tribes and the Spanish garrisons. They also carried the fight to those that stood in the way of the westward expansion of the young United States. In a fight, most of them were fierce and determined and valued as allies by the Indian tribes. At the battle of the Alamo, there were several of the early mountain men, i.e. Davy Crockett, that manned the walls in the face of overwhelming odds, and died defending the IDEAL of independence. Today, the spirit of the mountain man still carries with it a strong sense of the early ideals. Religion and the eithics that it carries with it often personifies the modern mountain fair play, a strong sense ol what It right can be seen in any encampment or rendezvous. The thief is a scourge and treated with the same determination and di.gust that prevailed long ago. It is nice to associate with people that still prescribe to such ideals and live them every day. man.-Honest- Jones from pg 8 be A pool tournament spend money or said Jones condemned. will be held Tuesday is 12 at the that condemnation January Pinball "very Palace in generally usedredevel- Roosevelt.

I Although some folks believe, or are led to believe, they can tell the very nature of a horse by j the animals natural blemishes. They are sadly! mistaken. For years I've studied and experimented with I this topic. My findings are simple and reasonable. The answer is NO! White eyes "bad horse", wide face "smart j horse", long ears, short ears, has nothing to do i with what's in between 'em. Remember, a pretty face doesn't guarantee a good disposition. . Fables are for fools, and it appears there are plenty of both. Does a hone have a conscience? NO! Horses do not have a conscience nor does any other critter, as far as that goes. Your horse will do nor not do, what you will . allow or not allow. At least, I haven't heard of j any coyotes apologizing to sheepmen yet. Your horse learns only through repetition.,. However; it is1 well for you to understand, he can reason! So well; in fact, he can be compared j to a child between the ages of eight and eleven years old. Do horses see in color? NO! Horses see only in shades of gray, as you would see if watching a black and white t.v. Im often told "this color or that color j frightens my horse. Rest assured, color has1 llittle to do with scaring your horse, j Do horses use E.S.P.? YES. Horses use E.S.P.. in communicating between each other as well as with humans. E.S.P. is the transfer of thought patterns orj the ability to perceive by means other than sight, i Isound, touch, smell or taste. In actual fact, this Isimply means that you can sense moods andj emotions, rather than see or hear them. Do horses use mental telepathy? YES. Horses use mental telepathy in Jcommunicating between themselves as well as I jthe human species. j Mental telepathy is the transfer of mental! I pictures. In short, it is entirely possible for you to get a I j mental picture of what it is you want your horse j to do, and he would perform the task. That is, if jyou had complete understanding and skill in the luse of mental telepathy. If you love horses, have questions and truly j desire to become a fine horseman, weld like to I hear from you. As many questions as possible will be I answered in our weekly column. AH letters will i be answered personally. I Write co The Newsprint, 642 West Main, jVernal, Utah.
