They were made in some quantity, during the fur trade, almost like an assembly line. John Jacob...

I was as guilty as anyone: There were many questions that I should have asked when there were those around me who could have provided the answers, but now they are gone, and so I can only describe what I can remember, much of it from first hand experience during the period 1936...
