My son has got quite a collection of antique trolling spoons. We each have forty foot boats. He’s crazy over old wooden boats but his is steel. He might be smarter than he looks!

After teaching the indians a few tricks, such as how to make buckskin, and grow corn, helping them master long-distance communication using smoke signals, and the art of flint knapping, he was ready for some news of the Old World. Made it almost 3 years without censor!
