You pretty much hit the nail on the head there-right now he's heading more towards the Order without even realizing it because, well, hes not the sharpest tool in the shed. I guess what I meant more to say was the trade potential-not only does Boss have a (literal) boatload of foreign goods but he also has detailed maps from Orleans all the way to Chicago.

Well, Par would probably be raring at the mouth to get his hands on Boss' maps, then. 

Also, I've been thinking that the Guild of Free and Fair Trade is headquartered at Vicksburg, so Boss might have come across them.
