​From "Fort Union Rendezvous: A little taste of the hard life. Area youths get to try their hand at various Fort Union occupations," by Renée Jean, Williston Herald, June 15, 2018.
Next door to the nail pounding demonstration was the fur trapper’s tent, where Sidney-area teacher Leif Halvorson explained, in character, what kind of job duties he had at Fort Union.
...
Halvorson had set up a demonstration lean-to at his station, to show the children what the trappers and hunters might typically stay in when they’re out hunting in the bush.
...
Halvorson had also set up a demonstration fire pit, with a small metal pot hanging over it, which he would later use to cook up a little broth for stew.
...
All of the items Halvorson wore and displayed were authentic, period pieces. He didn't allow himself even so much as a modern toothbrush at his campsite, he told the children.
...
Halvorson is a member of the American Mountain Men, a club that gets together once or twice a year for historically authentic mountain man camping.
