Your favorite period of American history.

I have to say here and now. Let me quote parts of something I posted elsewhere:

"The freedom of the internet to allow reasoned discussion of opposing ideas is the greatest tool against evil that has been given into the hands of the public, both in America and world wide. We have no editors, no advertisers, no managers or owners with personal bias or agendas. We are free to expound, to learn, to impart training, and to give and receive hope, joy, laughter, and sorrow. .......The internet may be the last uncontrolled tool of freedom in the hands of the citizens of today, the progeny of those citizen farmers that put down the plow and picked up the musket to do battle against tyranny."

May we never be silenced.

Ditto what Oleg said.

Looking back is fine and good, but it must be applied to the here and now. Live each and every day like it's your last, and always try to leave something better than you found it. How you go about it is up to you.

For me, it's that period between 1790 and
1840.

It was the era of the "mountain man".

It was after Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton,
et al ,had "tamed" the wild frontier east
of the Mississippi.

The real frontiersmen were those who put it
all on the line for fur.

They set out into the unknown to make their
fortune with no guarantees.
They had what they carried from St. Louis.

They were totaly self-sustaining and knew
if they were not up to the challenge, they
would not survive.[/quote]
