EARLY LIFE 1842-1871

“The Formative Years”

I gets myself born, lose my parents, find myself in an orphanage, where I discover I been leadin’ a very sheltered life. I starts my childhood career as a Parisian Cowboy! I meet Pierre (actually he nabs me in my second-ever crime). I eventually work my way into the sales position of a major French shipyard.

I git myself born. I manage to survive into adulthood

I become the number one salesman, and sail with the new iron-clad warship built secretly for the Confederate States of America. The trip does not end as planned.

I make it to America on a ship

So I make my way to New Orleans, then west to Texas. I see the bitter end of the war between the North and the South. I see it from high above. I see it is not going well for my customer.
