Dedication
This dedication is to the person who means more to me than anyone else in this world: my wife, June.
Chapter One
Dusty Stormalong, wearing his best pair of worn boots, kicked up street dust as he lazily strolled past wooden buildings that his callused hands, hard labor, sweat, and general know-how helped create.
The small western town originated by being hammered together using bent nails, and sun tortured wood from weather-beaten, falling apart, Indian-and-outlaw-fighting Conestoga Wagons that could not travel another mile. Half of the wagon train’s people still believed the promised land
would be found within the next mile. The other half were dead, buried along the trail to nowhere. The new wagon train boss sent Dusty out to search for much needed water, and to shoot any kind of animal he saw to feed starving bellies.
The afternoon was blistering hot, and luck smiled at the lone, nearly exhausted Dusty Stormalong. He found water, lots of it, flowing lazily along its riverbanks. He ran his horse into the water, took off his gun belt and jumped in fully clothed. He drank nearly a gallon of the best-tasting water he’d ever swallowed. Minutes later, he shot gophers that could be used as meat in stew pots and returned to the wagon train, whooping and shouting when he came into view of the first broken down Conestoga. The people declared Dusty to be a hero after he convinced them to destroy the wagons, tear them apart, and use their wood and nails to start building a town close to the river.
Work started. Over the months the wagons disappeared, while nearby trees were cut down and sawed into lumber that ambitious humans shaped into a saloon, a dance hall, a stable, a boarding house, a jail, and a few cabins. A year later a telegraph line was established nearby. Hooking up to it in caused much beer and hard liquor to flow, a telegraph office to be slapped into a building, and people shouting, We now have us a town.
