CGI's oldmaninthedesert: The Heart of Everything That Is...Print the Legend... Old Gabe.... The Glory Road

*********************************************
The Heart of Everything That Is...Print the Legend...Old Gabe....The Glory Road
If nothing else, this narrative and what is to come, gives us a clearer picture of just who these Lakota Indians we hear so much about these days are.
[...By 1824 brawling, bearded, buckskin-clad trappers had explored beyond Paha Sapa, across the Powder River Country, up into the Rockies, and over great tracts of deserts and alkali flats all the way to the Pacific. They spread through the ranges singly, in twos and threes, and in small brigades either as “free trappers” or as contract men tied to the established outfits or the new Rocky Mountain Fur Company. In their search for fresh fur fields they combed distant, isolated streams and river gorges, “rough and violent, making repeated falls, and rushing down long and furious rapids.” Their payoff was beaver dams so thick “that one would back water to the falls above it for ten miles.” Among them was a twenty-year-old Virginian named James Felix Bridger.
A young America craved heroes, and homegrown adventurers had fired the public imagination since the republic’s inception. Lewis and Clark, the Bostonian navigator Robert Gray, Zebulon Pike, and Daniel Boone were feted as demigods in their own lifetimes. Davy Crockett and Kit Carson were destined to join them. Of all these pioneers, however, none loomed larger than Bridger, who, ironically, felt a deep ambivalence toward the white civilization encroaching on the Indians. This sensitivity set him apart from his contemporaries. He would kill as ruthlessly as any other, but he also had a conscience that once prompted a warrant for his arrest on charges of consorting with and supplying arms to hostile tribes.
Bridger was born in 1804, the eldest son of a surveyor from Richmond who moved his wife and three children from Virginia to St. Louis two years before the British burned the nation’s capital. The mean, rough river town took its toll; by Bridger’s fourteenth birthday his parents and siblings were dead. He found work as a blacksmith’s apprentice, and learned to handle guns, horses, and river craft well enough to be accepted two years later on a keelboat expedition seeking the source of the Missouri. Bridger was tall and spare at six feet, two inches, and his most striking features were his keen gray eyes set over cheekbones that seemed sharp enough to cut falling silk. He wore his mop of long brown hair, thick as otter fur, parted in the middle, and became known throughout his life for a kind, gentle disposition. His first taste of Indian fighting occurred on that keelboat journey, when his outfit was attacked on separate occasions by Arikara and Blackfeet. All told, eighteen whites were killed. The Holy Roller trapper Jedediah Smith, impressed by Bridger’s poise, nicknamed him “Old Gabe” after the Archangel Gabriel—perhaps envisioning the lanky teenager standing tall atop the 7,242-foot Harney Peak, the Black Hills’ highest summit, blasting his trumpet to signify the end of time, or at least the Indians’ time. The nickname stuck for the rest of Bridger’s life....]
