    E D Cook letter notes he "did not accomplish much in the way of
    accumulating property, was a great character, loved and revered by all
    who come in touch with him. He crossed the plains in '49 and remained
    there almost without the pale of civilization. This worked a handicap to
    his accomplishments ... no doubt bitter."
