Zimmerman had many hair-breadth escapes. He delighted to tell tales of the early days to those who came after the pathway of civilization was blazed unto this territory through wilderness by men of his courage and stamina, until he grew too weak from the cancerous growth that practically destroyed his tongue and throat.
