Re: Blunders on The Mountain Men
OOPS!
In print, I just finished reading Michener's "Alaska", and found several errors such as when he tells of a pilot of a Piper Cub with his passenger in the right hand seat, except that the Cub is tandem seating, i.e. one behind the other....
And early on in Louis L'Amour's "How the West was Won" he has the mountain man hero come upon a couple of other trappers pinned down by a bunch of Indians. He shoots one Indian, then swings his rifle over to shot a second, and does the same to shoot a third. Later on he joins up to fight in the Civil War, so he must have been mighty speedy on reloading his muzzleloader.
