And Alfred took it and clutched it and was obviously so thankful. voice-verified

Now, none of these gold prospectors had struck it rich. voice-verified

They were all basically poor. voice-verified

But of all these gold prospectors, Alfred really had the least of all of them. voice-verified

And as a result, Israel kind of felt protective of Alfred. voice-verified

And also Alford was half the age of Israel. voice-verified

Alfred was 30 years old. voice-verified

And so Israel kind of viewed Alfred as like a lost kid trying to find his way. voice-verified

Alford had also confided in Israel that when the Civil War broke out in the United States, Alford had attempted to join the Union Army on two different occasions because he wanted to fight the slaveholding Confederate army. voice-verified

But in both cases, they kicked Alfred out for his epilepsy. voice-verified

But that had not stopped Alford from tattooing on his arm, his battalion information, and his name. voice-verified

And unfortunately, because voice-verified

Alfred could not read or write, he misspelled his name when he gave it to the tattoo artist. voice-verified

And so when he got the tattoo, it did not say Alfred for his first name, it said Alfred, A-L-F-E-R-D. voice-verified

And from that point on, that was his name. voice-verified

Nobody called him Alfred, they called him Alfred. voice-verified

And so this was kind of embarrassing for him. voice-verified

And then after getting rejected from the military, Alfred had kind of bounced around from one job to the next, never really putting his roots down and never starting a family. voice-verified

And so again, you know, Israel just felt like this was a guy who needed some help. voice-verified

And so after Alfred very happily accepted that coffee pot from Israel, he in turn reached into his jacket and pulled out a flask with some alcohol in it, and he handed it to Israel, almost like a thank you for giving me this warm coffee pot. voice-verified
