Slow John
After five long years in the army, First Lieutenant John Flynn was finally being mustered out and would soon be going home to the family he hadn't even heard from since he enlisted. But when he rode to the family home, he made two shocking discoveries: his family was gone, and he had been declared dead by the army four years earlier. When he finally left to cross the plains of Nebraska to find his family, he would discover things that he wished he'd never known about and one person he knew he could never forget.
The Inheritance
As he wrote Horace Kirby's will, James Goff understood how unusual and difficult it would be to ensure that his client's wishes were met. The wealthy life-long bachelor's only sister had died eight years earlier. Before her husband had died, he'd left her with a daughter who was now almost seventeen years old. The girl couldn't inherit until she reached eighteen and the precautions that Horace had included would prevent anyone from taking advantage of her until she came of age. He expected to make the two-hundred-mile trip to Lyon soon and after he read Horace's will to her, he knew that it would be a difficult year for his client's niece. The biggest threat would be from her stepfather, who also happened to be the county sheriff.
Abandoned
The loud roar snapped Mrs. Doyle from her sleep and she quickly slid from her bedroll, stepped to the tent's flap and pulled it aside seeing a bear standing on its hind legs just a few feet from her. What made it more horrifying was what she didn't see. The camp behind the bear was empty. She dropped the flap and turned to her the frightened boy standing behind her. He looked at his equally terrified nanny unaware that they had been abandoned to die in the wilderness.
Dylan's Journey
Dylan knew that the boiler was about to blow apart and that if he didn't act fast, he and the others in the pump room at the #3 mine would all die. The engine operator was panicking but had fallen in his haste to escape a scalding death, so Dylan lifted his heavy shovel as high as his twelve-year-old arms could manage and swung it in a fast arc to the thundering machine. It may kill him, but he had to try. Even as the shovel's steel head slammed into the machine, it would set in motion a series of events that would shape his entire life.
Hitch
Toby took the conductor's hand as he stepped from the train in the dark night unsure of why his mother had sent him away. The conductor had his travel bag in his hand and Toby looked at the shadowy unlit buildings as he was led down the street. After five minutes, the conductor guided him to a bench on the boardwalk of the sleeping town, then left his bag on the bench with him. "Now, son, I gotta leave you here. You stay there until the sheriff comes and he'll find your aunt for you, okay?" Toby nodded, said "Thank you, sir," then the conductor patted him on the head, turned and left. Toby was more confused than afraid as he sat in front of the jail. No matter what else happened, he knew that he would have someone go back to the farm and bring his mother back to him. Three hours later, the sheriff led him into the diner where he introduced him to his uncle, Hitch Nelson.
Inevitable
Lin Chase was aptly named as he'd chosen the profession of bounty hunter. This chase was to apprehend or kill the notorious Whitacre brothers and he was getting close. They were just a few hours ahead of him now after more than a week and a half of tracking. He was the best at what he did and had never even felt the bite of a bullet and didn't expect this to be any different. But it wasn't the Whitacre brothers that would cause the enormous shift in his life. That would come two days later and would start at a peaceful family farm that held more promise than it did danger.
Mister Thor
TJ knew the coal was there; a large deposit. But he had seen something else that intrigued him about the area south of Gillette in Wyoming Territory. He would only find it after he had bought the huge tract from the railroad. When he returned to the town to do his exploration and evaluation of the site's potential, he discovered much more than just coal. What had started as a straightforward hunt for the minerals that powered steam engines evolved into a series of life-changing twists that would almost kill him.
Conn Jackson
This was supposed to be a journey to find his dream of starting his own spread. As he left the Bar L just northwest of Cheyenne and rode south into Colorado, Conn already knew where he wanted to build his ranch and had enough money to buy the land and get it started. It was just a hundred mile ride through open country. What could possibly go wrong?
Wilmore
Bounty hunters were generally viewed as little better than the men they hunted. Ted Shepard usually didn't pay any mind to what others thought. He was good at what he did and it didn't matter. But as he trailed the body into Wilmore, he expected to just have the local sheriff identify the body, file for his reward and then head back to Wichita the following day. But things would never be the same after he reached his hometown.
Gus
He supposed it was just bad luck, but when Gus Matthews rode out of the Rocking C where he'd spent the last six years, he couldn't see much future for him. He was closing in on forty years old and had all of three hundred and some odd dollars to his name, his horse, saddle and his two guns. It wasn't much for all the work he'd done, and just when he thought his life couldn't go any further downhill, he spotted that worthless Lou Feldman riding to catch up and join him. He could not in his wildest dreams imagine the problems Lou would create for him over the next few weeks or the other extraordinary events that would shape the rest of his life.
