The white mountain man was attracted the Indians women because they made great housekeepers, home economists, and mothers, but also for maintaining supplies and equipment needed in the man's business - putting up lodges, tanning hides, cooking, protecting provisions. Indians men took these skills for granted - white men saw them as blessings.
Beyond the sexual, Indian women cared for the mountain men's comforts - interpreters, guides as well as forging for herbs, making clothing, tending and moving camp. Seems all the men did was procreate, eat, fight and smoke pipes!
The white man was able to marry well and regarded their Indian wives as far superior, prettier, cleaner, more stylish, seductive and far more useful than white women. Their biggest problem was not getting one, but choosing from the many offers received!
Next time...What makes a Good Husband!
