    Nat aS Its so close to the Idea of Ellis, and in many ways, it is the most Ellis, and yet it is still missing the most important part of Ellisdom:

    He didn't lose interest halfway through and then purposefully tank it/not finish it.

    I say that not out of hate, but love.

    Casey G. Right? One time I was reading this mommy blog (and, to be fair, I am sure this view has been stated elsewhere) that it can be hard to get kids into history because kids find it boring.

He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
