In 1868, Southern sympathizers burned my family home and murdered my parents. I was three years old. Pa was four years back from the war. Unfortunately, he wore blue. In the yard, I watched my ma and pa fall. Being tethered to the table kept me from wandering. I heard the horses and thunder.
The matriarch of the gang, a true force of nature called The Whirlwind, finds me. Cursing the drunk outlaws for wanton slaughter, she sees me standing under the table, watching. She rescues me. Or did she? The Whirlwind took me in, protected me, taught me, and generally did the best she could. Once, I was the scapegoat to a joke. The Whirlwind caught word of their prank and killed those involved.
I matured quickly, learning to fight and use my wits. At 16, I helped plan the raids, but The Whirlwind forbade me from riding with the gang. At 17, I drew a lightning-fast Colt. I was a sharpshooter with a Winchester, and I noticed the girls in camp. Tossed from the gang, I lived with the Mountain Crow, was a guide for the cavalry, by accident became a bounty hunter, and helped a town marshal tame a Kansas cow town. But all I want to do is buy land in Wyoming and start a ranch.
Maybe after helping, they’ll allow me to ride to Wyoming?
