45 Flint, back to your original question.  According to the Glossary of American Mountain Men the term "Mangeur De Lard" is a Voyageur term for a fur company recruit.  These men, considered useful for common labor only, were usually fed salted pork, hence the name.  The term was later adopted by the mountain men to mean any man new to the fur trade.
