Looking forward to Ch.2

Again.

It will be worth our time!

Can't wait for the next chapter keep up the great work

A very nice story. I liked the detail about Dillon not only being a Southerner, but a Virginian. Keep up the good work.

As usual, you wrote this very well. Historically speaking, I believe that these trains that you have Dillon riding did not exist yet. But otherwise very good.

liked the proper gun timelines, good story, continuing on after this.

AS usual you always get me so involved in your stories, i can sit for hours reading them

Another great story, and it's only the beginning.

However, mind the "your" and "you're" - need better proofreading/editing, that's all.

Thank you for what appears to be a great companion to The Trail West.

May not have started out with an ambush in rocks above a ragging waterfall. None the less a very good read. Yes I read your bio and seen your penn names. Will check this out. You write a little on the personal feeling side, which I kinda like. Have read some books where there is just too much thinking. Keep up your good work. I certainly enjoy. Thanks for your talent and for sharing w your fans.

but am anxious to see where it leads.

Especially considering the ongoing racism and hatred of Mexicans ongoing in usa under the banner of swasticas and the confederate battle flag. I like your rootin tootin westerns but the world would have been a better place if the Dillons of that time had been slaughtered in the first months of the criminal rebellion. This. Charecter is no hero. I hope ge gets shot to pieces in the next gunfight. Ut I suspect he will win em all and it will be the union patriots who suffer. No better than a nazi

I'm not sure what story or character you are upset with. Dillon stated a couple of times that he didn't agree with slavery and in fact did not own slaves. He fought because of his belief in state's rights and didn't want some burecrate in Washington telling him how to live his life. (Much like today)

I normally don't respond to adverse comments as there are more Anonymous Andys and hate Nazi than I can defend myself and my work against. But this one was so far off the wall and wrong that I had to respond.

One final suggestion to Anon 2/25, don't bother reading any more of my stories. I don't think you will like my characters beliefs. Save yourself the anguish and anger.

Woodmanone

The world would be a lot better if illiterate idiots like you were slaughtered Anon 2/25. As for the story some minor grammatical errors but a good read.

Woodmanone.. You havn't posted in a while, I sure enjoy your Westerns, please continue to write/post your stories.

Forget that jerk Anom 2/25. You have way to many Fans to put much credence in his comments.

Good start, Mr. Woodmanone.

And don't heed that cowardly Anon 2/25. He know nothing of history, patriotism or the Southern mindset. Let alone the real reason for the American Civil War - taxation.

I've read this story several times and enjoyed it but something always bothered me about the first page and the first part of the second. Dillon wasn't principled, just stubborn and stupid! He did "grow up" for quite a while!

First, those of us involved in war know there was nothing Civil about it, or any other. I always heard it called the War Between the States, or the War of Northern Aggression.

My Civic teacher always hammered on us the term: Multiplicity of Causes. There aint one reason, but many. The press has a bit of a feeble mind and tend to seize on one and trumpet that as the cause. He also told us that all wars are fought for economic reasons.

My grandfather fought with the 13th Georgia Infantry and was captured twice during that war. My father was in the 19th Georgia Infantry during WW 1 on the Texas Mexican Border.

No one seems to complain about his father who mentally changed sides with the wind. He's only into money.

Wonderful writing and no glitches that caught my attention. Keep up the good work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

That war was about SLAVERY. Read the Declarations of Secession. Read the Cornerstone Speech. Familiarize yourself with the timeline leading up to it and the American economy at the time. Southerners were claiming State's Rights when it suited them. They were only too happy to force Northern States to help them return Fugitive Slaves regardless of Northern views on the matter and they loved the Dredd Scott decision. Would Lincoln have been happy to avoid war and guarantee he wouldn't abolish slavery? Yes. However, the South was militantly fanatical about their slaver ideology. Lincoln and many others wanted to stop the spread of slavery. Southern leaders wanted to spread it. - Good story even if the Protagonist has some screwy ideas about politics.

I enjoyed the trail west and other stories by this wonderful author. I will try to get through this series despite the lead charecter. His politics were awful. He fought hard for the slave states and even evokes the hideously racist Lost Cause myth. He may read poetry but he is the kind of pathological killer that that war created. Now he is turning his killing to the west, where he has already gunned down 6 bad men. His compatriots went on to slaughter the native people on lands stolen from Mexico. He is clearly not a good person by today’s standards. The taming of the west was a genocidal bloodbath, much of it perpetrated by traitors who fought to defend slavery. Since only rich white landowning men could vote it meant that States rights was code for slave owner’s rights. Sorry to ruffle feathers. I will read on because author is a fine story teller and because his depiction of Dillon lays bare the dark side of those hard men who went west

Great start! You can really spin a yarn! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
