RE: The Weekend Freewrite -9/7/2019 The price of friendship
I've never had a horse but I did have a dog I was very fond of and I don't think I'd've sold him for a thousand dollars.

Well, the $1000 in 1860, considering inflation, today is roughly equal to $30,910.
Ultimatelly the exact amount of money isn't important. What if they offer you 30 million or 30 billion dollars. Let's say that most of the people if tempted with such an opportunity, will have their breaking point. Then the price of a friendship could be calculated as the difference between the market price of an animal, and the price at which the owner sold them.
