Although Chuck wasn't a member of the TMA, he did contribute a lot of useful information and was a true artist in his field.
He will be missed!

This has been a pretty bad last few weeks for losing people.
A couple of weeks ago, lost a good friend from high school. Was the drummer in our little dance band, so we spent a lot of time together going to gigs, practice, etc.
Plus whoever else might have gone away. Bad time.
RIP all.
John

I just read on another forum that Chuck Burrows has died. I always enjoyed his posts and his knowledge as I'm sure a lot of folks did.The guy was just incredible, and always very well-mannered in his internet discourse. Sad news, indeed.

When I first met Chuck in the early 80's at a Bear River Rendezvous in Wyoming, I was pretty well blown away with his creative art and extensive knowledge of the Rocky Mountain fur-trade era. The first time I seen his tipi (at a bit of distance), I would have sworn it was made from braintan elk hides, instead of the artistic "smoked canvas" it really was.Quote from: "rollingb"I just read on another forum that Chuck Burrows has died.

He was a very interesting man to share a campfire with.

It would be good if the TMA could somehow send condolences to his family. His work was amazing and his knowledge of history equally amazing. God speed Chuck.Lynn,.... I agree.
A nice card (and/or whatever) can be sent to........
