Whiskey Jack Cain " Bourbon Cowboy"
| Jonathan Cain spent years trading with the fur trappers and native tribes of eastern Canada and northern New England. There he earned a well deserved reputation for dishonesty, cheatin' and outright thievery. He was given the disparaging name "Wisakedjak" by an Algonquin chief, as a means of warning other tribes against trading with him. The trappers took to calling him "Whiskey Jack". He was forced to flee the northeast after surviving an attempted scalping during an attack by a native raiding party.He disappeared for awhile before resurfacing in the Nevada territory, where he operated several gambling halls and saloons in various mining camps. Though many miles and years have passed, both his name and reputation followed him.............eventually all his business ventures failed. |
