The horn in which western hunters carry their powder is usually that of an ox. It is closed up at the large end with a piece of hard wood fitted tightly into it, and the small end is closed with a wooden peg or stopper. It is therefore completely watertight, and may be for hours immersed without the powder getting wet, unless the stopper should chance to be knocked out. Dick found, to his great satisfaction, that the stopper was fast and the powder perfectly dry.

An enjoyable read,
By Mountain Momma (Montana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dog Crusoe and His Master (Kindle Edition)
I think this would be a nice read for any dog lover. It takes place in America's early western days when Indians and white men were starting to sign peace treaties. This book is about a young man who loves the outdoors and joins up with two mountain men who have been asked to visit Indian tribes to 'smoke the peace pipe'. He has an incredible dog whose life he saved as a pup that makes this journey across the Rocky Mountains with him.I will say after the first 85 percent of the book I felt it became too unbelievable and I skimmed over a number of pages but I would still recommend it.
