Save 15% on Missouri River Handbags
We are so excited to introduce our very own line of handbags. These Missouri River brand bags borrow elements from historic Western or Native examples but update them into something brand new. Made from top quality cowhide, each bag is eye-catching whether your attending a powwow or spending a night out on the town. Two of our styles have hair-on cowhide flaps that are reminiscent of early buck flap hunting bags. Our t apestry bag is made of heavy upholstery fabric to give a stylish version of the mid-19th century carpet bags. Finally, our shopper bag has an embroidery pattern to pay homage to the great quillwork bags of the early 20th century. All bags are badged with a full leather Missouri River brand. We hope that this is just the start of a continuing line of quality products featured under the Missouri River name.

History of Writing in Colonial America
Writing Materials & Learning to Write
By Crazy Crow Trading Post ~ July 3, 2023
Writing in the Colonial America era, was a complex technical process that required an array of materials and techniques, many of which were often difficult or expensive to acquire. Some of the personal writing tools used in colonial America included quill pens, ink, journals, paper, stoneware inkwells, sealing wax (the idea of separate envelopes did not exist) and portable writing desks that could be placed on another table top or in the lap. Formal writing instruction was deliberately limited to certain elite classes of the time of both sexes and men of business and trade.
This article includes: 18th Century Writing Supplies, Thomas Jefferson’s Portable Desk, How has the design of the portable writing desk change over time?, Learning Reading & Writing in the 18th & 19th Centuries, and The New England Primer.
