I went to my first Mountain Man Rendezvous at the age of 12, it was held at Ft Garland Colorado, Kit Carsons old post. I have been a history buff of that era ever since.
It is a real shame that the Rendezvous are getting as scarce as they were back in the day.

True,this is the first year FHA cancelled the trappers convention in North Bay.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

A good place to visit if you're in the area. We use the video you'll find if you scroll down in DVD format to begin our trapper ed class here in southwest Wisconsin. https://museumofthemountainman.com/Do they still do a rendezvous outside Portage? Not sure, but maybe just a side attraction to Canal Days. Our favorite event is the Bloody Lake Rendezvous in South Central Wisconsin. First full weekend of May. They sent as drone up in 2017. Good camp. At 2:17 I'm out front of our camp performing domestic chores. This becomes a family reunion, as the three lodges behind me have kids and grandkids in em. https://youtu.be/KxwbR45VWqc

I'm thinking that " teet " hat was a cruel joke given to a greenhorn . I've seen it in those original drawings/paintings & always thought that .
Maybe he'd been scalped & that hat was to help cover the ugly .

And his not so clean-shaven older brother Stephen Meek. (Circa 1858)

Do you understand that it is an artist’s rendering and not a historically accurate photograph?
Eh...wot?
