Thus, he never had the opportunity to learn to read and write, and thereby lived a long and venturesome life by his faith, his wits, and the sweat of his brow -- where doctors, medical care, and modern travel, farming, and living conveniences were unknown."9 He and Nathaniel West Gurley were involved in a land transfer when he transfered land to his son, Nathaniel W.
