  1. Sandra, I'm a firm believer that the theme or essence of your story has to be what you feel is the main essence from your research, either just because of content or because it speaks to you. Some that occur to me are overcoming health and financial problems; mining involvement; religious involvement and the story behind his land deals...trying to settle as a landowner vs miner.
