Mountain Man Quote
« on: September 23, 2020, 09:35:18 AM »
Saw this and thought it was worth sharing...

I AM A MOUNTAIN MAN

MY MOTHER WAS A BADGER, MY FATHER WAS A GRIZ. I CAN OUT SHOOT, OUT FIGHT, OUT CUSS AND OUT DRINK ANY MAN. I HAVE THE SHARPEST KNIFE AND THE FINEST RIFLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. HERE MY CHALLENGE ECHO IN THE VALLEYS FOR ANY MAN OF ANY NATION TO TRY TO LIFT MY TOP KNOT. I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR MY RIGHT TO BE A FREE MAN, TO TRAP BEAVER AND TO HUNT THE ELK, TO DRINK FROM THE COOL STREAMS AND TO SLEEP UNDER THE STARS. I HAVE NO ROAD TO FOLLOW, I MAKE MY OWN. I HAVE NO MAN TO ANSWER TO EXCEPT MYSELF. I FEAR NO CREATURE ON GODS GREEN EARTH FOR I AM A MOUNTAIN MAN!
