Carthage, South Dakota, was a place were Alex McCandless was very known. A man named Westberg employed Alex while he was in Carthage, he didn't have any bad things about Alex. In the story Westberg describes him as a hard worker and very intelligent. Westberg was shocked when he heard what happened to Alex because they "developed a lasting bond". I think that Alex was intelligent but all of that intelligence is what got him in that position because if he wouldn't have been so determined he would still be alive. Or he should have at least used his intelligence to buy all of the equipment he needed for that adventure that he was so longing for.
