: I thought you all may enjoy reading the e-mail (below) that came to me.  For
: those of you who have been on a Gorge trip, you recall William Linville was
: one of the men who, in 1766, was killed just above the falls in the gorge
: that now bears his name.  The gentleman writing the e-mail had (somehow)
: seen my "Linville Gorge Web Page" and was commenting on same.  You never
: know who will be influenced by what we do.

: Your Humb'l Serv't,

: Wm. Brown, III
: on the Warrior fork of the Catawba river

: I must write to thank you all for the great pictures and your will to walk
: in the foot prints of such stubborn, but unfearing men of
: adventure. I was at the foot of the Gorge in 99, but was to sick to venture
: far. I hope to return soon, as I dream to take that fateful
: journey also. Of course, not to finish as my grandfathers did on their trip.
: Ha!

: I am some what jealous though, as I don't have the garments you wear, nor do
: I know where to obtain them. But I do own a fine
: Bowie knife and rifle, though not of that era.  When I was there in 99, I
: stayed in the motel at Linville, below grandfather mountain, and had
: breakfast in the little cafe next door.  I could not find one soul who knew
: about the name of their town.  It is good to know that you folks know and
: remember your fore-fathers. For that, I thank you, and hope you fair well!

: Your umble servant, Henry (Hank) Linville, ggggggggg grandson of William D.
