In episode 14 we explore the value of exploration. The quotation for today is, "We need the tonic of wilderness… At the same time we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature." This was said by Henry David Thoreau. Today's character is Louis Gates and he is from the film Last of the Dogmen. Louis Gates embodies exploration as a bounty Hunter, as a man reconciling the loss of his wife, and the search and expiration for Cheyenne living traditional life in the world setting of the Oxbow mountains in Montana.
