To Live Forever: An Afterlife Journey of Meriwether Lewis
“October 8, 1977. Near Kosciusko, Mississippi.
Emmaline trawled her feet on the trail ahead of me. She’d been happy to walk when we broke camp, but as the day wore on, the monotony of hiking blighted her disposition. She wove from side to side on the trail, idle hands pulling at dry leaves and slapping at vines. Once, she even started limping.

I lowered her feet to the rutted ground beside me.MoreLess
