Just a tired Cowpoke.
After the War of Northern Aggression spent some time down Mexico way. Moseyed back across the border to a career of liberating Yankee railroad gold shipments. Seems the railroad objected a bit because the Pinkertons became thicker then flies on cow-dung on a hot summer day.
Worked as a Range Detective in South Dakota as the Pinkertons and the Railroad lost the trail before I headed to Kansas. Found me a nice spread, built a cabin, dug a well and accumulated more then 100 head of Mavericks. Things were going good. Had me two trustworthy hired hands and was even considering making a honest woman out of the Widow Johnson.
Started having problem with Rustlers stirred up by the Pinkertons? Planted a few, few more got trampled and a few more just disappeared. Hired hands were a scared off. Widow Johnson went back east to family. Well went dry. Time for me to move on too I reckon.
Looking for some free range with a creek that ain't got no neighbors within a days ride. Town folks that aren't abothered by an occasional visit by a opinionated old cowpoke that is set in his ways. Have I found it?
