Salathiel Albine rode out of Bedford Village with only his woman, his wagon and his double-barreled shotgun to keep him warm. Half a lifetime was packed into that covered wagon. The other half was buried deep within this remarkable adventurer who staked his future on the lawless Pennsylvania frontier.
