“Everything has a beginning and an ending, son. We all follow our life in patterns. Cycles, if you will.”

I was born in April 15, in the year of our Lord 1844, to James Edward and Amelia Evanston. Edward was a farmer and occasional woodworker, while Amelia was a good and dutiful wife. They made for a very handsome couple, and I was their eldest. Unfortunately, such happy memories were cut short when raiding Indians attacked our homestead, took our parents' supplies, and killed my parents before my very eyes. I could still remember him grabbing his hammer and bludgeoning one of the invading Indians on the head with it. 

Milton "Frisky" Farraday grinned as he set the bags of bills on the wooden table. The creaky old wooden table shook, as the money bags were slammed on them. His breath reeked of tobacco, whiskey, and rotten teeth. Frisky had several rows of teeth missing that his boys often wondered how he even managed to chew on food at all. They wondered to themselves, but they didn’t bring it up to Frisky, unless they wanted to risk getting lead poisoning from one of his peacemakers.

The bounty hunter rode into the small town. It was a nondescript town that was in the middle of nowhere. You wouldn't find the town on most maps in any of the territories. It even seemed deserted. As he entered the town, he could hear the rustle and howl of the winds as he made his way to the sheriff's office. “He's here, right on the dot,” one of the men said. There were four men with the sheriff in the office that day. They were all expecting the arrival of the bounty hunter.

“You see that, boys! I struck it rich! I'm rich an' so are you! You three helped me set things up here, so I'm going to share my profits with you! Don't worry, we'll cut it evenly among ourselves an' we'll have a lot to live off of. There's a lot more where that came from in there!” Samuel showed the small ounces of gold on his palm to the three men. He showed them off proudly like a parent showing his friends his newborn child. The men still did not look impressed.

"Them stupid prohibition puritans, can't even let good men drink their alcohol in peace! It's a crying shame, I tell you! Can't you do nothing about it, Deputy?” the bounty hunter asked. “I'm just the deputy of town, Bounty Hunter. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. I'm not even the head law enforcer round here. That's Sheriff Woode's job. “If you ask me, Sheriff Woode's a mite too puritanical for his own good. Men like us should be able to drink when and where we can".

Carlos "Bolo" Damon was a mountain man. Like most of his kind, Carlos was a loner and quite able to live off the land and his own skills. Damon lived off the land and hunted various animals for their furs and, like his peers, blazed many trails that later travelers would use and benefit from. Damon hunted and worked where his feet, or his mount, would take him. It didn't really matter. For a man like Carlos, what mattered was the fur that he could obtain, and there was plenty of that in the still bountiful woods. It was just another day for Damon.
