Working in the round provided the challenge of creating something aesthetic not only from one viewpoint, but from all sides. More importantly, Mike found that sculpture was a hands on art form that was tangible to both the artist and the viewer. Combining sculpture with his love for western history, Mike documents elements of that past that will most effectively relate historical important values. To him, the period of time in the American West which best exemplifies these values was that of the fur trader era and before. Two elements, Native American culture of the American Indians and the free trappers and traders or mountain men, who penetrated the culture of the western wilderness in search of beaver, formed the catalyst of these values. The culture of the American Indian was one with nature and he environment he lived in. The mountain men soon found that adaptation to that culture rather than conflict with it was necessary to survive.

In the cold and gloom a poor little girl, bareheaded and barefoot, was walking through the streets. Shivering with cold and hunger, she crept along, a picture of misery, poor little girl! The snowflakes covered her long fair hair, which fell in pretty curls over her neck; but she did not think of that now. In all the windows lights were shining, and there was a glorious smell of roast goose, for it was New Years Eve. Yes, she thought of that!

Ah, a match might do her good, if she could only draw one from the bundle and rub it against the wall and warm her hands at it. She drew one out. how it sputtered and burned! It was a warm, bright flame, like a little candle, when she held her hands over it; it was a wonderful little light! She rubbed another match against the wall; it became bright again, and in the brightness her old grandmother stood clear and shining, mild and lovely. And she hastily rubbed the whole bundle of matches, for she wished to hold her grandmother fast. And the matches burned with such a glow that it became brighter than in the middle of the day; grandmother had never been so large or so beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and both flew in brightness and joy above the earth, very very high, and up there was neither blessings of His love be gours the whole gear through!
