"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Adventurous.


His name was Jeremiah Johnson.                           

They say he wanted to be a mountain man.  The story goes that he was a man of proper wit and adventurous spirit … suited to the mountains. Nobody knows where he came from and it don't seem to matter much.  He was a young man ghostly stories about the tall hills didn't scare him none. 

He was looking for a Hawken gun, 50 caliber or better.  He settled for a 30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken.  You couldn't do no better.  Bought a horse, traps and other truck that went with being a mountain man.  And said good-bye to whatever life was down below.


This here's his story.
