Do you think if you had been born in the 1800's would you have traveled across the country as part of Western expansion or the CA gold rush?

Well, I do reenactments of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804. So I likely would have been here to tell the folks in the wagons which way to go.

I kinda think I lived on the prairie in a past life.

I don’t know. If I had known how beautiful the West was I probably would have.

I’m a timid comfort seeker now; I probably would have been the same then.

1840s? No. I’d be heading to Canada, thanks.

I would have stayed in the east where it was more civilized.

I don’t think I would have been tempted. I think I would have had plenty of opportunities in the East.

Honestly, I don’t know. It’d depend on how poor I am.

I WOULD HAVE TOTALLY BEEN A GOLD MINER. i wish there was still unexplored land. i know it was hard, but how fuckin cool would that be to have lived and mined gold in a town like Bodie, CA? lots of those towns were in really beautiful places too. seems like a grand old time.

On my Mother’s side, I would have been born in Arkansas near the Nilco villiage area. My Grandmother was from there and my Grandfather is listed on the Original Dawes Roll of Choctaw members.

On my Father’s side, I probably would have been born in Nauvoo, Illinois, and been taken with my great grandparents to Colorado in the 1850’s or so.

No, because I also did nothing when the lottery jackpot in Italy was €147,807,299.08 ($205 million U.S. dollars) in 2009 and half of Europe seemed to have gone crazy.
