Has any noticed that LL has shown that the "Western" person came west for many reasons. Crispin M is chased out others came to forget, Fergusons Rifle or for more oportnity Sacketts. They all brought who they were with them and behaved that way. A man who was "too bad" didn't have the survival skills to live here. If he could not cooperate at times fo need, he died or was killed. Crispin brought himself out and found a place that did suit him. A place to build and grow. Great themes to build a story on and themes to teach other generations. I think LL was trying to pass on the things he knew to his kids and to others as well as puttng food on the table without getting cold, wet and miserable. |
