The Importance of Gratitude
In many ways, Benjamin was as impulsive in his travel plans as he was in choosing a wife. I never asked him exactly where he was from or why he wished to settle in Oregon. He would talk all sorts of circles around it and I had some inkling that he might have been fleeing trouble back east. As we travelled the blessings were not entirely one-sided, it turned out I was far more suited to the hardships of the trail than him. We reached the Laramie River and fought John in October. The manager said we could winter at Fort John if we had the food and money for it, or we could turn around and leave.
