In October 1774, at the First Continental Congress, Joseph Galloway pleaded to his fellow countrymen for unity between the “mother country” and America, but his impressive life within the American system was not enough to break the strong urge for independence. Galloway had chosen to be a loyalist but when he did he was declaring his home as his opposition.

Christopher Johnson Mccandless, an intelligent young man, dies while trying to live in Alaska; by choice. The death of Mccandless was a controversial matter: people argued their thoughts on Mccandless’ story, and who's to blame for Mccandless' death.

As a young child, one of Lane’s idols was Donnie Gay. When Lane got a chance to meet his idol, he called him a fake cowboy. Lane’s idea of a cowboy was a gentlemen that tipped their hats, true friend, and was an encouragement to other young riders.
