Harry March, a rough and ready frontier type with a pretty crude outlook on everything, tells Natty that he will not long remain his friend if he can't prove his skill on something more dangerous than a four-footed creature. Sad it is, but apparently the measure of a man in those days.

*sigh* Okay, you win, Gayle...I'm getting more interested every day...guess I'm gonna have to try AGAIN to read Cooper's tales. Folks, wish me luck, here...I've failed miserably at being able to get into them in the past, but Gayle assures me that I've been reading them in the wrong order. We'll see if fixing that will work...more later on the Mighty Mohican Mama Marcia's Great Attempt to Read JFC. (JFC?? Sounds like a fast-food chicken franchise...something I'd have less trouble understanding than Cooper, I'm sure!!)
