Jeremiah Johnson: You'll do well, Del; providing you don't get into trouble with all that hair.
Del Gue: Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was write. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline.

John - that is really a work of art. I sometimes get tired of bowies and hunters everywhere, though most all of them are made with technical sophistication. There are not a lot of people who move past good craftsmanship (which is a heck of a thing in itself) and push into real art. This is real art. Thanks for sharing.
