"I followed the trail of the deer and it led me into the forest across valleys and streams. There, alone with God and his creations, is where I found sanctuary."
Silas Edwards,
the Carolinas, 1773
Come on in, my cabin is always open for friends. We have fresh game and poultry to eat, along with some fresh vegetables that we grew ourselves. Glad you brought your rifle, you might need it out here in the wilderness. Never know when them savages might appear. Been having problems with the natives the last few weeks. Never know when a war party can be in the area. I never go anywhere without my trusty rifle. I keep myself fed and clothed by selling these hides I take during the winter. I deal with all sorts of buyers, so I have no quarrels with French, British, or Indian. Whoever has the silver is who I sell to.
