A Lover of Shakspeare and Turbulent Times on the Border
A reminiscence recalls Jim Bridger of Fort Bridger Utah once in New York where he mocked the narrow streets and adored Shakespeare though he did not know the author. He traded with emigrants, defended a prized ox, and hired a reader to hear the plays nightly ending with a dramatic gun-armed pledge to protect the reader from the murder in the tower.
