We have endured summer snowstorms, terrible thunderstorms in canoes on the Missouri and Columbia rivers, soaking rains on the Lolo, and innumerable moments of exhilaration on the Lewis and Clark Trail. The Lewis and Clark experience has brought us together so many times in so many places that we cannot measure or express what it has meant to our marriage and our family."<br /><br />And by the by, I'm sure you would love the Faragher book about Boone. It's an enthralling tale of discovering the great beauties and mysteries of what was then virgin country, that Cumberland region of knobs and peaks, in all the wildness of what it was before the real estate and extraction interests moved in -- motivating Boone to keep on moving west ahead of the acquisitive tide, into that part of the world you now know so much better than the rest of us ever will.<br /><br />What D. Boone would have made of "mountaintop-removal" (strip mining) shearing off all the tops of the mountains of eastern Appalachia for the original Yankee reason, a quick killing, one might only guess.<br /><br />There's the lovely anecdote about Boone, in his old age, by then removed to the Osage Country, watching from the shore as the Lewis and Clark party started up the Missouri. Successive epochs of the advance into the interior, that grand, fateful story.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-33792041008276405302011-04-16T17:41:27.396-07:002011-04-16T17:41:27.396-07:00recommended on the West
