#183 The Chimpanzees of Wyoming Territory- Don Zancanella
This is a road/trail journal from the frontier during the
post civil war 1860’s. Two veterans travel to meet a partner and mine their gold
claim. They are entertainers who have acquired two performing Chimpanzees.
“I pity mankind. We have contracted a disease of the spirit.
IT robs us of our compassion. It is contagious madness. It is worse than
typhoid. It compels us to murder the innocent. We bleed the grace from the
everlasting souls.”
Notable Passage: “Miners are like poker players. They
continue because all their hardships can be redeemed by a single run of luck.”
