Geocache Description:

Another in the Indian series

A trappers hard life left a deep impression on his appearance. Ordinarily gaunt and spare with browned skin from constant exposure and long unkempt hair. Most dressed with extravagant ornamentation and could scarcely be distinguished from an Indian. Due to unrelenting dangers and unremitting vigilance he developed a piercing look, head slightly bent forward and deep peering eyes under his slouch hat. He was accustomed to violence and death. His clothes, from 'the states,' disintergrated quickly and were soon exchanged for the Indian garb. In summer he wore a light handkerchief on his head for protection from the heat and bugs, a light coarse cotton shirt and breeches with long deerskin leggings, leaving his thighs and buttocks bare. In winter the shirt was made of deerskin with a hooded cloak 'copote' thrown over his shoulders. His moccasins were made with long folds which were wrapped around his ankles. Their inside was lined with wool, grass, or deer hair. Whether winter or summer everything was decorated with gay embroidery, fringes, bead work, hair, feathers and gewgaws.
He came from a conglomerate of nationalities, French Canadians, Mexicans, and Americans, who wandered up the rivers and into the Mountains. Naionality faded as those fur men adapted to their environment. They were mostly uneducated, but wise in ways of rivers and trails. It was a lonesome, perilous, and always hard life. Many married New Mexican women or Indian wives whose families provided a degree of protection from likely prey.
