 The gathering would create a congregation of people and animals that could be quite large. You got to realize these rendezvous had several hundred trappers and traders and supply caravan, maybe three, four hundred. But you may have thousands of Native Americans at this rendezvous. Most of the 16 rendezvous were held in the territory of the Shoshone tribe. This was a big event for them as well. And their numbers were probably greater than those of the trappers and supply trains who attended. They were horse rich, so they probably had five horses per person, if not more.
