Trade Items with Vincent Grant Sr.

But anyway okay some of the stuff that they used and they traded for it was the superb beaver and raccoon and so naturally used everything they could get ahold of solely made a good hat out of it winter hat so then after the traders start coming down then they start trading for a lot of more buckskin and if you’ve ever worn leather it’s cold in the winter and it’s hot in the summer so as soon as they could they start trading for cotton calico cotton and for wool you know what more comfortable we’re come more warm and everything else and so they created and they made one of the main items they made was their winter coked out of it this is uh penalties blanket that was cut and made into uh cup oats so you kind of had a tie they never had any buttons or zips so they had a tie and tie it shut there you go then of course we never had any matches or anything left to make fire so everything was hard all the fire was started with flint and steel so to get a steel striker and get some dis knife river Flint wait here spark catch it on your char cloth doctor fire up and another thing to use the fleet for with arrows arrowheads Flint arrowheads neither were all handmade these were made up in this area it isn’t turkey feathers and a lot of time did wrote he was uh prairie rose four shafts and then he was Flint for their heads and then they’d use sinuous titles together with so they did trade and carry black-powder rifles and black butter pistols usually the same caliber she didn’t have to carry wrong ball for your pistol and separate ones for your rifle they’re usually the same caliber she entertained everything interchanging powder and round ball and every kind of interchange so you that waiter you don’t have to carry quite so much stuff but there was nobody always treated like I said he traded for oh this is when one of their possible sacks possible bag did call it you put this on in the morning and you loaded up anything you could possibly need that day okay you carry up a ball starter for your rifle powder measure built right into it um give you some wrongful well let’s carry some caps neither did terrier fire-starting kit you get a foot in here and some stealing yeah you could break your spark doctor fires it carry a knife got a lot of the animals they got they didn’t carry him back hole wherever they got him just get them right there just carried to hide you back and carry a tomahawk or a hatchet cut steaks drive stakes and they had a lot of little stuff to get these little bags it’s a turtle just made it to a bag first you create a powder horn for your powder they carry another bag a lot of things so some of these were actually trade items - it would make these up and then the money go back to rounder would they trade him break him back for whatever but whatever you want in there snap it shut and then get a paycheck and of course your traps and tobacco just whatever they all carried tobacco and stuff so this was some of the stuff that he actually carried on with him all year long it traps and main stuff like that they would cash they didn’t have to drag him on a lot of wet but horses - did have a pack horse and maybe a saddle horse with them pretty cool and the ones that didn’t mainly travel on foot
