Saw this in our national paper today. Interesting lost pipe story from the frontier. The area they are discussing is very remote even today.

Cool story thanks for posting!

Interesting read, and a part of history.

he wouldn't have been pleased to have lost it as he lived a frugal existence prospecting for minerals

nope, I can't imagine he would be happy to lose his pipe! I'm sure there was no 7 day rotation in his hut!

Great story. Imagine living by yourself in the frontier...most folks couldn't do it, not sure I could, but would love to try.

Pretty rare to not only be able to find the maker of a clay pipe from back then, but also its owner!

Hey, I think that's my pipe! Oh, maybe not.

It's quite a story. The guy must have been a real hermit.
