Would the only print copy of the Timberlake narrative be found in, "The Memoirs of Lt. Henry Timberlake: The Story of a Soldier, Adventurer, and Emissary to the Cherokees, 1756-1765" Or is there a version available that just focuses on the mission in question?

My copy is a reprint published by the Cherokee museum in N. Carolina, edited by Duane King.

I'm not so sure that is true. When you look at sporting images prior to the middle of the 18th century, it is not uncommon for only the bare minimum shooting gear is shown in the portraits/paintings/engravings. That means they must have some things stuck in their pockets, which are not shown. I would suggest that they would need some kind of leather bag or flint wallet to hold the flints so as not to cut through the pockets of their clotheing. Perhaps flint wallets were more common with middle/upper class in the first half of the 18th century, but we don't see them illustrated simply because they are being carried in pockets? Gus Maybe for the common folk a simple drawstring bag with a handful of Flints in it is The most honest interpretation I think that depends on the age, location and craft skills of the person; as well their economic station. However, one can't go wrong with a handsewn cloth or leather pouch. Gus
