The First Clave
Having enjoyed a few claves I enjoyed reading historian Bil Gilbert"s story
of the first western clave. He wrote- "They did very well trapping in virgin streams.[ In a single season Jed Smith took 668 pelts worth about $4,000 ]. To keep them working in the mountains, Ashley devised what became one of the most famous of all American institutions, the trappers rendezvous, the first of which was held in 1825 on Henry's Fork of the Green River." The men were encouraged to bring along to the rendezvous, for trade and frolic, any friendly indians or free trappers they might encounter---- he did not mention whether they had a single malt tasting night or greasy eggs for breakfast.
