To ensure truth is secured across generations and the prophecy is monitored, the Kindred maintain a genealogist to trace the family trees of each surviving member of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. Lost Mungo spends his life hiking the Great Trail to secretly record this information from hiker journals secured within each shelter all along its 2,100 mile length. He meticulously documents each family tree on decades old scrolls. Confident that he has captured the latest family information cryptically entered into these journals by undercover rebels disguised as backpackers, Lost Mungo packs them away in weathered leather cases. He clutches the scroll case tightly at the sound of approaching footsteps echoing off the rocky trail that disappears beyond the illumination of his headlamp. Someone is descending the wind ravaged mountain ridge looming above the battered wood shelter at 3:30 in the morning.
