Every time I hear a new blues song that knocks my socks off, it’s probably by some random guy named something like Joe “Crowkiller” Watkins who has precisely a paragraph worth of biographical info on the entire planet and it’s only extant on a single very scratched 78 from 1937.

Qhorin complains at how late everyone is, saying he got a head start on killing with Alfyn Crowkiller being dead. Ned thinks that it is possible to speak with Mance and persuades Robert to a parley. Robert is very tired at this point and ready to get things over with despite his lords arguing and wanting a fight. They march to Mance. Benjen tells Jon about a broken horn he found on a ranging, and Jon blows it to confirm it is most assuredly broken. The cold begins to take the soldiers. Slowly, one by one, men wander and disappear. Alliser Thorne being one of them. Days later, Free Folk outriders are taken prisoner and Rattleshirt is questioned by Robert. Rattleshirt says that Mance wishes to parley, and the king asks if the Lord of Bones wishes the same. Rattleshirt responds “Mance is soft” before drawing a dagger on Robert, only for a knife to be put in his throat by Jaime Lannister. Eddard orders the captured outriders to be kept near the ravens and guard posts. This includes Ygritte. King Robert meets with King Mance in the Frostfangs many nights away from the Fist, a few hills away from the grand valley where the Free Folk are camped. It is cold, and the wind is dead. Robert is accompanied by Ser Barristan, Lord Eddard, and Jeor. Mance is flanked by Styr and Giantsbane. Mance questions Robert on how much Valyrian Steel was brought, finding out they have little. Robert mocks Mance for believing in children’s stories. Mance says that getting through the Wall is their only goal, but Robert refuses on the account of them being “wildlings.” Mance makes an offer to Robert and points out the many elderly and children. Robert decides to consider the offer and convenes a war council when he returns to the Fist. Randyll Tarly, Mace Tyrell, and many other nobles came for blood and wanted it. Eddard advocates not to fight so as they do not harm the children. Mormont is all for the attack, but Benjen brings up the missing men. His voice is drowned out by the sudden outburst of men cheering for Robert to go to war. Robert, ever swayed by the might and longing for war, orders the attack. The air gets colder as the army takes many more days to advance. Jon and Ygritte talk about Mance and the pursuit to get past the Wall. Ygritte tells him the army isn’t just fighting groups, but an entire people. Jon gets yelled at by ravens saying “flee!” and tells Ygritte about the coming attack, to which Ygritte responds that “Your King Robert best declare war on this cold, too. It is just as unbeatable.” To be continued in further posts.

#CrowKiller [1959] was well researched but #VardisFisher's #MountainMan [1965] draws from a wider range of tales and legends to fill in the feel of Johnson's Character & fill in the Blanks. Both are in #JeramiahJohnson, a career building role for #RobertRedford

New to me "lawn" flower. Seek says it's something called Crowkiller which is evocative?
Three open and one bud of 6 petal white flowers with yellow stamen on a tall stem, tentatively identified as a native nicknamed Crowkiller
