There's more on George Shepperd coming later. Lancaster has a great quote about him. He's an interesting fellow. Today I found a thread on the Portland Hikers Forum regarding his wife Mattie's gravestone. http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=17814
