About This Item

This medallion was obtained at the historic 25th reenactment of the Bear River Rendezvous held annually at the Bear River State Park at Evanston Wyoming. Each of the previous event leaders called the Booshway and his assistant called Segundo were recognized for their efforts. Events at these weekend rendezvous include shooting of muzzleloaded rifles, throwing tomahawks, trap setting, fire starting with flint and steel, story telling, Dutch oven cooking, buying, selling, trading and much more with competitors dressed in garb reminiscent of the era. It has traveled to the site of the 1838 rendezvous at Riverton WY and Fort Bridger, the site of many historic Mountain Man activities. There are many more sites, modern and historic that he wants to visit before and after representing the American Mountain man in Europe, where the beaver pelts were in great demand during the early 19th century for fashionable headwear. Please help him along!
