...as a gambler. Several times we was arrested for vagrancy. On March 5, 1876 he married Agnes Thatcher Lake, an owner of a circus in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. He left Agnes a few months after marrying to seek fortune in the goldfields of South Dakota. In South Dakota it was where he supposedly became romantically linked to Martha Jane Canary also known as “Calamity Jane.” But there was never any written records found or discovered the relationship between the two. On Hickok’s twentieth day of camping and prospecting near Deadwood, August 2, 1876, Hickok went into town to play some cards. He hadn’t been doing well at the tables, and the more urgent his need to win became, the worse his luck seemed to run. The day before he had written a short note to his wife that read “If such should be we never meet again, while firing my last shot, I will gently breathe the name of my wife-Agnes-and with wishes even for my enemies, I will make my plunge and and try to swim to the other shore.” Hickok never knew that he had already fired his last shot. Dressed in his town clothes, he found a game in progress at his usual table in the No. 10 Saloon, and he asked Charles Rich, who was sitting with his back to the wall, if he could instead take that stool.

...slave has in the story is action. Thus his social status is reflected even in the way the short story treats him. The slave's only value is his labor. Nothing else is important, not his name, not his thoughts, not the tale of his striving to return home. Korra, the master is always portrayed as a benevolent man, one who it is easy to imagine believed in the white man's burden to bring civilization to the benighted savages of the world. Thus he is a good master, who frees his slave as agreed upon after 5 years. It is not his fault that the slave did not reckon he would need money to travel, and thus was inevitably forced to work 2 more years for Korra. Moreover Korra is a decent man, whipping his slaves for their benefit, Then one day Korra whipped him. It did him good, and he wept... Korra fed him well that he might live long, kept him clean that he might be in good health, and at reasonable intervals whipped him so that he should be meek and respectful. Lost Forests even views the suffering of the slave as not only physically beneficial (as discussed above) but spiritually nourishing as well. For in the years of subjugation the slave learns how to count the seasons till he is free. This knowledge born of sorrow grants him, inner wealth, his spiritual treasure, which none could take from him or dispute with him. That which the slave has lost in reflected in the very title of Jensen's short story, Lost Forests. For once the slaves they used to live among the trees as free men,...
