The legend of Boomer Jack
Previously: A short time later, Boomer & company came upon Chris and the marshals, “We had a near run-in with some folks on the high ground five miles ahead of you. Chances are good they’ve left—but.” “We’ll scout the hill, … Continue reading
“This is a blog—not reality.”
Previously: “Can’t tell from here, but if he is—he’s only one.” “Boys, get ready,” Caleb called-out, “We might have a target—ripe for the picking.” Meanwhile—the stagecoach was moving at a rapid pace—the driver was too nervous to go slower—one marshal, … Continue reading
“Boys, get ready…”
Previously: Caleb Smith and his long-time partner, Carson James had been at this since the war, and were quite well-off as a testament to their skill in selecting targets. If you remember, GENTLE READER, our heroes were ambushed a few … Continue reading

“Home sweet home, Daisy.”
Previously: “Very-well, then, I’ll just have to use the Ojibwe-method of interrogation. You won’t find that very pleasant.” The Eagle-Point Band of Ojibwe did not employ torture as a method of extracting information—but they didn’t know that, and Hiram would … Continue reading
“Do you guys have anything to say?”
Previously: Chris, Sarah and Susie, all sharpshooters of no small skill, returned fire and managed to hit two of the four ambushers, and in so doing, thoroughly convinced the other two that pursuing the marshals was not really a good … Continue reading
