More Rendezvous- 08



"Hannible" sold knives, furs and such.



They didn't have hoop and stick yet...



The missing end of the card was shot off by this woman's musket ball. The skinny side facing her! Quite a shot, this one.



Blackpowder musket.



A trapper's bedroom.

Last summer I shot an assignment for the NY Times on a group of people that get together to reenact the ways of the fur trappers that settled parts of Minnesota way back when. It was an interesting job for sure. All around me people were dressing and acting like they were living a century ago. Kids threw hatchets, men fired black-powder muskets and ladies cooked over open fires. These are images that were never published.
