Still, it took nerve to keep coming back and keep trying. Fascinating man. I do enjoy information about people like Kirkland. Thank you Kristy.

Again, he sure did move around a LOT--his wife must have had the patience of a saint. But of course he kept all of them safe. He certainly did plenty to grow the west and improve it in several areas. I so enjoyed this step back in time. Thanks.
