We still do print books.
And I work in all those kind of projects.
Everything from I've done cookbooks and I'm currently working on an American history series.
What's that about?
Market hunting.
So did meat eaters, American history, volume one.
And that was that story of Daniel Boone and the deer skin trade.
Awesome.
And that covered 1763, which is the end of the French and Indian war to 1775.
So right up to the American revolution and then did meat eaters, American history, volume two, the mountain men.
which covers the beaver skin trade, which 1806, so two years after the Louisiana Purchase, the return of Lewis and Clark, which launched the era in 1840 when that era and that market collapsed because of silk, the advent of silk replacing beaver wool as the way that hats were made.
So the silkworm kind of killed that market.
We just recorded Meat Eaters of American History Volume 3, which is called The Hide Hunters.
It picks up with all the displacement at the end of the Civil War and displaced veterans, Confederates and Yankees going west and picking up the buffalo skin trade.
And it ends in 1883 when they killed the last herd in northern Montana.
And from there, probably...
From there, we'll probably jump up to the Great Depression and do the Alaska fur trade during the Great Depression.
I'm sorry.
It'll pick up at the end.
It'll pick up during the Roaring Twenties.
