One afternoon John was cutting up wood when a neighbor drove up in his car.
“Have you heard the news about the mine in Placerville?” he asked.“There was a cave-in and a miner was killed.He has three children.The sorry thing is,his wife is dead.He only has a married sister who might take them bus she lives on the other side of the Sierras.And the snow is too deep to get any mail across the mountains.”
John went on working,but his thoughts were on the snow-covered mountains.He remembered how he had climbed snow mountains on snowshoes as a boy.He examined the wood.Then and there he decided to make a pair of snowshoes out of it.
After he made them he began to practise on his snowshoes until he felt sure of himself.Then he started off.
There was no pa to follwo,he moved ahead on what he believed to be the proper coures.When darkness fell.John still moved on,guided by the stars.It was late into the night when he finally decided to stop.He must save his strength for the long journey still ahead.Finding a proper place,he immediately fell asleep.
After three days of traveling,he saw smoke curling upward from the chimneys.John knew he was nearing the town.
As he glided into town,people ran out of their homes and gathered around him.They started in surprise at the blue-eyed man on strange snowshoes.
“I brought you mail from Placerville,” John said simply.
The following day the sister of the dead miner gave John a letter,“I’ll come for the chidren as soon as the pass is clear.” She told him.
For the next five winters,although paid little,snow-shoes John went on steadily carrying the mail.For many years John was talked about as the famous mail-carrying hero of the Far West.He was also remembered for the shoes he wore.They were the first snow-shoes,ever seen in California.

一天下午,约翰正在锯木头,这时一个邻居开车上来了.“你听说Placerville矿井的新闻了吗?”他说：“那儿有个塌方,一个矿工死了.他有三个孩子.不幸的是,他的妻子也死了.他只有一个已经出嫁的妹妹可能收养他们.但她住在Sierras的另一面.雪太深了,没法过这些山去送信.”约翰继续工作,但他的思绪却到了冰雪覆盖的山上.他回想起当他还是一个孩子的时候怎样穿着雪靴爬上雪山的事情.他检查了木头.就在那时,他决定用这木头做一双雪靴.在他做好之后,他开始试鞋直到穿着舒服了.然后他出发了.那里没有任何指示,他一直向着他认为正确的方向前行.当天开始暗下来的时候,他还在前行,靠着星星的指引.到了深夜,他最后决定停止.他必须为长途跋涉省点体力.找到合适的地方后,他马上进入了梦乡.经过三天的跋涉,他看到烟囱上飘起的烟.约翰知道他接近小镇了.当他滑入小镇的时候,所有的人都跑出房子围着他.他们惊讶的看着这个穿着奇怪雪靴的蓝眼睛男人.“我从Placerville带给你一封信,”约翰仅仅说了这一句.第二天,死去矿工的妹妹给约翰一封信,“一旦路通了,我会尽快赶到孩子那里的.”她告诉他.在以后的五个冬天里,虽然得到的钱不多,但约翰依然坚持送信.许多年来,约翰被人谈论成为远西部地区著名的送信英雄.他依然记得那些他穿过的鞋.它们是加利福尼亚最早的雪靴.
