: : I just got this from William Brown, the gentleman that takes us into the Gorge on our period treks. You just never know who will read what you write.
: : Clabert
: : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: : at Bedlam
: : Monday, the 5th day of February, Anno.

: : 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.
: : Linville
