As I'm away from my collection, at the moment, I haven't been able to "strip out" my next personality figures from my next photo - which includes several named individuals - who are busy trading for furs with some Native Americans. Maybe that's no bad thing - as this is what these guys actually did - amongst other things, such as scouting for the US Army, many later becoming lawmen - and trailblazing for pioneers to come.

My four American "Mountain Men" figures shown below are. Kit Carson - standing and trading with some customers.

Behind Kit - are three more Mountain Men on horseback - interestedly watching proceedings. Bill Mitchell, is on the left, John "Liver Eating" Johnson is at the centre - whilst William lewis Sublette is carefully surveying the scene - with his long gun at the ready.

All four men were well known fur trappers and traders - based in and around the Rocky Mountains in the early 1800's. Each of these men had colourful lives - and some were to become important figures in opening up the West to later pioneers.

My Kit Carson figure is a conversion from a figure by Dorst Soldiers. (arms modified to hold trade blanket and rifle)
The mounted threesome of Mountain Men came from Whitetower Miniatures - (Lassie comes with Bill Mitchell figure ) The Travois fur carrying A frame, laden with furs and drawn by a horse - is slightly obscured by my Native Americans, but is also by this British maker.

My Native Americans, by the way, are a mixture of old hollowcast repaired and re-painted figures by Britains, Crescent and Timpo, some of which have been modified - to make up this colourful group. jb

Nice traders. On the subject of American history, here is Britain's Betsy Ross sewing an American flag.

Maj. Gen. DRURY-LOWE

He served in the Crimean War at the Battle of Chernaya River and was at the Siege of Sevastopol when it fell. He also saw service in the Indian Mutiny in 1858–1859. He purchased a commission as Major in 1862, and was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel of the 17th Lancers in 1866.Sometime between 1862 and 1867 he assumed the surname Drury-Lowe in place of Lowe. He commanded the regiment for 12 years — most notably at the Battle of Ulundi, the last pitched battle of the Anglo-Zulu War. He was appointed CB in 1879. In the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War, he received the surrender of Urabi Pasha. He was publicly thanked in the House of Commons, and knighted on 18 November 1882.

Shown here at the Battle of Tel el-Kebir in 1882
