He goes on to discuss what he knows of the history of Samuel Bent who "appears on the Mormon Trail, is mentioned in journals, and so far as my own knowledge goes, disappears." Stegner closes quite poignantly by saying: "It's a very hard time to be an adolescent, maybe because of the combined prosperity and permissiveness in which we bring our children up; and maybe our permissiveness has been inescapable because our own uncertainties about earth and heaven are so troubling that we can't with confidence train our children to any fixed code. I would not want to live until the year 2000." Signed in full with one correction in his hand. Old creases from folding, couple of short tears and some foxing, thus very good. SKB-9321 | |
