For an essay, I need to pick a fictitional character to base my book around. All I need right now is an OCCUPATION to start from. It must be a job that would be true to the 1830s-1870s in the west, such as Nebraska or Utah.
I don't want to be something simple, boring, and ordinary, like a farmer, teacher, railroad builder, trail guide, miner, etc. I want to have a character with a job of the time but something that is interesting, unique, and that nobody in my class will do. For example, some poeple chose a dentist, a porter, and a boarding house owner.
Please offer any suggestions as to what the occupation should be. 10 Points to the one I use!
