The Buffalo Trace 1765

I set up this Page to help organize the information I use to document the gear/clothing I use to portray a Market Hunter (aka "Long hunter") operating out of Fort Pitt And Kaskaskia in the 1760's. It's morphed into a catch all for anything that interests me on researching the 18th century backcountry and then trying to put into practice the information I find. This is the Buffalo Trace Part 2.
