William Greenbold: Explorer

 

When William Greenbold was a boy he loved exploring. When William was at his grandpa’s house because his Grandpa was dying he gave William Greenbold his last present and it was a compass. Whenever William was playing with his compass it always pointed towards the sea (to the west). One day he got a letter from his Grandpa that was half finished and it said Follow your dreams. That night even though he was only 11 he wakes up in a cold sweat because he had dreamt that they (his family) would move to a forsaken land. The next morning his father told him they would sail across the ocean. His family followed the compass needle to the west for several weeks and then. Land! They saw their new home. The compass had spoken the truth.

 

When William Greenbold stepped off the ship that had brought him there, his clothes were of silk and satin, but as exploring went his clothes tore more and more. When he came back from his trips the rest of the expedition found him already coming back with scars and tears in his clothes. William came up with an idea and it was to make more clothing out of animal skins. After a day or two of hunting and skinning and sewing he finally had some decent clothes. The leather pants and the crude fur vest made him look more native than white man. Some of his men were so fooled by his appearance they jumped off into the brush never to be seen again.

 

William Greenbold became accustomed to close encounters with snakes, poisonous bugs, carnivorous plants, savages and rebel ruffians. But once he became too accustomed to a native. Once he was walking and exploring when he stumbled across a small tunnel. He followed the tunnel down to a cave with wall paintings of people chasing large animals with spears. He had never seen these paintings. As he crawled back through the tunnel he heard a threatening cry. “AYEEEE!” A savage ruffian charged him with a spear. The spear broke two ribs and a shoulder blade. William fell, badly wounded. The cries made by the triumphant native attracted William’s comrades who killed the native and got William to safety.

 

William Greenbold I was on a scouting trip when he and his brother were taken prisoner by natives. The night he was to be sacrificed he and his brother escaped and made it to branch camp. That very next day his branch camp was attacked by rebel natives all but William, Oliver and Granky were killed. The trio was taken prisoner and marched to the rebels’ camp. The next day they escaped from their foes by starting a fire in the tall grass. That afternoon they accomplished the second thing in this new land and that was climbing to the tallest point in Yanoane by accident.
