I was reading over the weekend in "A life wild and perilous" by Hafen(?) I believe, and he talked about John Coulter taking a trip with "only his rifle and a 30 lb pack", of course there was no reference and I realize this isn't a "primary source", but wondered if anybody on this list knew of where this might have originated.
Like what kind of pack, and what made up the 30 pounds? Also, I didn't notice any discussion of that pack being on a horse, just that he may have had the assistance of some of the local tribes to get him through the winter.
Haven't posted in some time, but have enjoyed reading whatever comes over the list list.
