Green River Rendezvous At Pinedale, Wyoming.
If you, like me, are a history lover, the second weekend in July is the perfect time to come and visit the Green River Rendezvous in Pinedale, Wyoming.
The west was founded on fashion. Believe it or not, the first mountain men came to the west in search of beaver fur for top hats.
The original Rendezvous from 1824 - 1840 were the best opportunity to lay in supplies for the coming winter, renew acquaintances, tell tall tales, drink, laugh, and get rowdy.
Nowadays, the Green River Rendezvous consists of cultural events such as lessons at the Museum of the Mountain Man, a parade, rodeos every night, a pageant, and some places that have live music. But, of course, you can not miss traders row, the booths, and the food trucks.
At Traders Row, you can find all sorts of handmade leather and fur goodies. You can also find a blacksmith doing his thing.
The Museum of the Mountain Man dedicates to preserving the culture around here. They do a great job. Every year they collaborate with the American Mountain Men Association. These mountain men camp on the premises of the museum and give a variety of classes to the people, from Hudson blankets and shanties to beaver trapping and skinning demonstration. They transport you to early 1800.
There’s action for the cowboys as well. Every night they have Rodeo night. It’s a fun night where the locals demonstrate their rodeo skills.
You can not miss the parade Saturday morning, where the community gathers and celebrates itself. It’s so lovely to see familiar faces in the parade.
Suppose you want to see the community working together and learn about the history of this part of Wyoming and see fabulous equestrian skills. In that case, you can not miss the Green River Rendezvous Pageant, where they introduce you to the main characters that made Sublette County. The beggings of the fur trade and the pony dancers show their equestrian skills by riding horses bareback.
It’s a beautiful way to say goodbye to the Green River Rendezvous.
So, are you going to meet me on the Green?

I am sorry to have to say that is far from what a real rendezvous was like, especially one on the original Green River site. At least in the first half of the video, it looks much like a modern county fair, with all the food truck, modern trinkets and modern tents. This gives a very poor representation of what should have been a much more authentic, historical representation of a real mountain man rendezvous. As a reenactor ( for over 37 years) and living history historian, this is very disappointing. The end of the video, is where the real representations of the times was being shown and was more authentic and representative of history....that was well done. The event staff should not allow the carnival atmosphere shown at the beginning to take part at such events, it takes away from the feel of history the real reenactors were trying to display.

My dear, you did nothing wrong. The frustration lies with the event and organizers themselves. Those who participate in "rendezvous", the reenactors or "buckskinners", gather in order to maintain and preserve a particular standard. It may not always be a time-machine experience, but they do try. In this case, blacksmiths wearing cowboy hats and plastic glasses, food trucks, swap meet conditions, etc. immediately adjacent to those buckskinners trying to portray a pre 1840 experience is absurd and, to a point, disrespectful. These modern vendors are there for profit. Buckskinners pay to camp in shelters, clothing and gear that is very costly to acquire. By nature, they are almost always willing to engage with modern visitors and answer questions. What they should not be expected to do is accept being relegated to a sideshow act as part of a "street fair". Your documenting of the event actually served to show everybody what is actually happening. Those of us who know how it should be can point to all of this as proof that the more you add to an event in order to acquiesce and change, the lesser the quality becomes. It's the Museum of the Mountain Man, not the museum of the county fair. You did a great job reporting and videoing.
