At the age of 16, Richard decided to set out to see the world, or at least, the United States, and for the next five years of.his life, he led a storybook existence, barely escaping from one hair raising escapade before he was involved in another one. He started his travels by working at a number of odd jobs, including stints as a farmhand and a year as a •cleckhand on a 'Mississippi River steamboat, in the days before Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer were even dreamed of. When these adventures soured, Richard Bucke signed up as the manager of a wagon train which was hauling a load of height from Fort Leavenworth to Salt Lake City. The five month trip across the wilderness only added more fuel to his desire for adventure, and after safely delivering their cargo, Buck and a party of ten other men decided to push on to the Pacific. Trek This time, with one wagon and two horses, they faded more than a long trek across a hot, dry landscape. With only half the journey under their belts, the men were attacked by a band of Shonshone Indians, and fought for half 'a day. At the end of the seige, Richard and his companions were down to their last few bullets, and little water or food. The "men struggled on for six days, travelling 150 miles on foot, until they stumbled into Sam Black's trading post, one of the few outposts of civilization in the area. " • While a number of flucke's companions losmheirilife on the long trek, the future doctor reached the Seirra`Nevadas, his, taste for adventure still unsatisfied. Bucke finally settled in the:minitiglown of Gold Canyon, in the Sierras, joining two brothers, Allen and Hosea Grosch, who were searching -for- silver-in-the -mountains. Unfortunately, the men ventured into strange territory one clay, only to be trapped in a sudden blizzard. By the time they were found, the one Grosch brother was dead and Bucke took ninths to recover from exposure and frostbite. During these months, he decided his career as an, adventurer had come to • By. Alice Gibb Now that we Canadians are beginning to admit our deep, dark past spawned some heroes Who were, just as romantic as their American and British counterparts, I'd like to add aname to the list—that of Pr. Richard Mantice Bucke. Now while Dr. Elucke is likely most emernbered as the man who added the term "cosmic consciousness" ,to our vocabulary,. if he's remembered at all, he was at various times in his life an adventurer in the American West, an alienist (the old-fashioned term for psychiatrist)," a writer, and a philosopher. Today, one df the tare, times anyone runs into the work of Dr. Bucke is when they stumble on a weighty volume called. Cosmic Consciousness: A Study In the Evolution of The Human Mind. But aside from writing a book which has influenced many people to explore their more-mystic levels of consciousness, the.good doctor led thekind of life which provides Hollywood (and maybe someday Toronto( with the grist for its movie hills. • Rev. Bucke A Richard Bucke's father, , who could claim to be a direct descendant of Robert Walpole, Britain's first prime minister, brought his family to Canada in 1838. Rev.-Horation Walpole Bucke and family settled on Creek Farm, a section of EastIondon; near Highbury Avenue, art area which is just one more suburb today, . The minister was a remarkable scholar and linguist, speaking and reading seven languages and transpdrting his entire library, which' consisted of thousands of volumes, across the Atlantic to his new home in the less civilized backwoods of Canada. Now the city of London in 1838 had a 'population, of 1,200 , _ peoplearid could lay claim to five churches and seven taverns.- Since the ministry wasn't going to occupy all his time, Rev. Bucke immediately set about learning the farming techniques necessary for survival-in•the-family's 'new home. , Richard • . • Richard, one often children, in the family, never attended • e. hero an end. In the spring, he returned home to Canada and although he had no format education, the time spent with his father's 'library stood him in good stead. Richard Bucke was immediately accepted into McGill University in Montreal, and he set about the study of medicine. In 186,' theomung Londoner graduated, winning the year's award for the best theSis. With a small legacy he had inherited from his mother's estate, •he get out to diScover Europe, home of the French and German philosophers he was still reading and studying constantly, ichard Bucke stayed in Europe for two years, working in England for a time. and then at the famous Hotel Dieu hospital in Paris. Medical Practice When he returned to Canada, he hung out his shingle in the town of Sarnia, where his first patient was a Scot named Alexander MacKenzie. A short time later, MacKenzie would ,a hieve a fame of sorts ,as Canada's second prime minis`ter, Dr. Bucke remained in Sarnia for 12 years, marrying Jessie Marie Gurd, daughter of a prominent local:family. In addition to his work as a general practitioner, Dr. Bucke was also continuing his study of psychological , and philosophical literature. , During his.years in Sarnia, someone introduced the doctor to the works of the American poet Walt Whitman. When Richard Bucke read Whitman's Leaves of Grass he felt an instant kinship with the author and his premonition that the two had a good deal in common in their attitude to life was to prove true. Although Dr. Richard tucke didn't realize it them, Walt Whitman and Whitman't. mystic attitude to life would . someday become irrevocably entwined with his, own. Dr. Bucke, like Whitman, was 20th Century man living' years ahead of his time, To be concluded. next week. 61.
