There wasn't much comment when I posted that message, and that's OK because I am not very good at puting such things into words. I wasn't to sure most folks understood what I was trying to say. When I started buckskinning many years ago I had very few real friends. Like most guys I had lots of aquaintances, but very few if any that could be counted on. I feel very fortunate to have been able to develop the kind of relationships that I spoke of earlier. Becoming a member of the AMM Brotherhood has only reinforced those relationships and developed more of them. In talking to other men in the workplace it's a rare thing to find men who have any real friends of the kind who can be counted on unconditionally. I think those of us who have those kind of relationships are very fortunate in todays world. One thing that I should have added to the original post was that a real Brother would do no less for those who would need to call on him. Again, I'm not very good at puting such things into words, and I've most likely said more than I should. I felt then that Laura's question deserved a response.

It's a long story, but it's on topic. Three years ago I began writing a book, Across the Seasons, a novel of historical fiction involving Russell. Somehow I was directed to your "list" and, for the last six months I have "listened" and "learned" from all of you. Unknowingly, you have been my mentors through your posts, your strong opinions, and your insights. My first mentors were J.R. and Eileen Watson. I showed up in Riverton, Wyoming at the reenactment of the 1838 Rendezvous looking like a would-be mountaineer out of a Salvation Army store. God knows what those fine gentlemen and ladies must have thought when I stood at the opening ceremony and announced I was writing a novel of historical fiction and showed up with a modern-day belt and a Randall knife slung on my hips. No one cast a sideways glance when my ribbon dress had Wal-Mart "Indian" designs falling from the yoke. If I had known how I had embarrassed myself, I would have never gone back, but I did, and I leave day after tomorrow to make the journey again. No one made me feel slight. No one made me feel foolish, and as a result, I pursued my imagination, and I grew stronger. Please forgive me for waxing eloquently, but tonight, I am riding on a high as sweet as the mountains at twilight, inhaling the smoke from a distant fire. I am feeling proud. I have finally finished my book. I have learned my lessons, and I am not afraid to have my interpretation(s) put into print and read by men, such as yourselves, that have studied our nation's history and become scholars in your field. This is an excerpt from my book. I send it to you as a means of a thank you for your timely answers to my questions, and your fervent dedication to this important time in our nation's history. It is from the last chapter of my book when Russell is on his deathbed: "There were some things Sarah had not told him. She had not mentioned that the famous explorer, Merriwether Lewis, had committed suicide. It came as a great shock to Russell, but as the years passed, and the early morning smell of his Shining Mountains became a distant memory, he understood Lewis' sadness that he and Clark had rendered the Unknown into the Familiar. He remembered Sarah saying that it was from the campfires of trappers that cities would rise. And they did. It was a new frontier opened by Time. The way West was no longer known as Sublette's cut-off or Sublette's trace, but the Oregon Trail. It had been Captain Stewart, going back to St. Louis, that had blazed the trail. By 1843 Fremont had highly touted the ease of moving through South Pass and, the same year, one thousand people, made the trip west. Senator Thomas Hart Benton promoted the idea by saying it was a "utopia -- three crops a year and every baby was healthy." In reality, the trip to Oregon took six months, traveling fifteen miles a day, and one in ten died on the perilous journey. Ever once in a while Russell would hear of the goings on of a fellow trapper. Newell and Meek, true to their discussion at the Rendezvous of 1838, left the mountains in 1840 and journeyed to Oregon and settled as farmers on the Tualatin plains on the Willamette. In 1843, Meek was made sheriff of the territory and, the boy who had left home at sixteen unable to read and refusing to learn, was elected twice to the legislature. After the tragic massacre of Dr. Whitman, his wife, and others, Meek was elected as a special messenger to Washington to ask for protection of the colony. He had written Russell a letter describing himself as an "envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the Republic of Oregon to the Court of the United States," and though "ragged, dirty and lousy" on his arrival, Meek was warmly welcomed by the poupuar voice and dubbed, "Colonel." Thank you Gentlemen. Thank you J.R. and Eileen for letting me sit on the ground by your campfire in Riverton and listen to your generous expertise -- for endless hours -- and countless e-mails thereafter. Thank you, Mr. Ratcliff, for giving me the confidence to forage through the historical mine field of the fur trade, and giving me the guts to finish my story.
