[Icom] Looking for a trade

Somehow this got on to the reflector it was supposed to be private,

but since you asked.

Old Pierre was given the "right" to transport people across the
Mississippi - which was darn near impossible, and depending upon Pierre's
mood, the price would vary.  He had a reputation for equating his mood with
the price.

A very interesting and colorful fellow.  There is still a place just north
of St. Louis that is dedicated to him.

One of the biggest characters - and he made no bones about it.  I think he
loved being a scoundrel.
