Imagine walking into a trading post in the 1860s, grabbing a stool, your drink, and settling in to hear the old bartender tell some you some tales. You might hear things like...
“I once had this boss and I made him angry by missing my curfew. He was so angry that he threw a hammer at me. I threw it back and we fought. I won so he called the police. That's when I knew it was time to leave town.”
“I was in New Orleans during the yellow fever epidemic. People all around me were dying but not me. Since I made it through, I left.”
“When I was trapping for General Ashley along the Colorado River, I found myself surrounded by a group of Indians. I gave them everything I owned and begged for mercy. They took me back to their village, declared me a long lost son, and welcomed me home. I stayed for the next ten years”
“There was this time I once brought an entire wagon train of 17 wagons through my own short cut through the Sierra Mountains. They named that shortcut after me, too.”
“Yeah, I was a messenger during the Seminole War, the Spanish American War, and even carried mail along California's mission trail. I don't think there's anywhere in the Great West that I haven't been.”
