Stagecoach Whip
It isn’t a simple job or a clean one. The hours are impossibly long, and rest is only granted when each leg of the trip is finished. Danger can spring from behind an outcropping of rocks, or from a fellow traveler. The weather is both friend and foe depending on the day. Even the very ground can shift underfoot. Only a fool would choose a job like this, so a fool is what I must be because driving a stagecoach is the only job I’ve ever wanted.

A Wall Street Alternative
The blood rolled down my arm as I nursed my finger. This was not the first time I had hurt myself with my own hand hammer. I walked over to the doctor’s office to have it sewn up. Doc had his back to the door when I came in. He turned around and smiled. “Again Joshua?” He asked. “Ya doc, this is a good one”. It took eight stitches to close the wound and after thanking doc, I walked back to my blacksmith shop. This order for the Daltons hoe must be done this afternoon. I also have three horses to be shod tomorrow. “Well, better busy than no work at all”, I thought out loud. Some of the farmers had lost their crops to bad weather on the outside of Black River Falls. Such is life in Wisconsin in 1848.

The village fool
Walking the hallway, I count my steps in fours, shoulders bouncing to the rhythm of my polished shoes on the tiles. I see my colleagues, smile lines spiderweb their faces, an expression of stress drawn from a life of loving deeply. I adopt my most charming smile and offer a low, overexaggerated bow, the web disappearing for just a moment to reveal a childish rouge and a shine to their eyes, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

Sewing with Love
Sitting at the women’s workshop and looking at her designs, I felt a spark. The way she draped the dress over the table, looking for the tiniest detail of the colors and beading don't clash. She hand swen the dress, waiting for me to try it on. I waited patiently for her to finish. “Come here, my little angel” she would becken me and I let her help me put the dress on. “How does it feel?”
