      From: nospam@abc.net              Yes, there are lots of photos of old NWMP from the 1870s and 1880s where they       look like       some museum piece with a full dress uniform that they NEVER wore from day to       day!              So all the dumb bell artists paint them up with red coats and pill box hats       out patroling       the prairies, good grief! Contemporary accounts describe them as actually       looking more       like bushwhackers when out on patrol. Lots indeed did look like your average       character out       of a duster, not some souvenir post card.       --       Todd              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
