So far so good, you got a good story going. And i can see there is very many avenues you can go with this story.
Why and if he goes to Montana?
What happens to the other ranch?
What is just 2 different avenues
Great job on first story! The only thing that really didn't fit were some modern terms like "blow me off, sexy and shooting ropes of cum" not exactly terms for the period of the piece. It's not a criticism but takes away from the atmosphere of the story.
LIKED IT A LOT. BEING AJOHNSTONE FAN I LOVE WESTERNS. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM ON LITEROTICA. FOR MY TASTE THERE WAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SEX. HOPE TO SEE MORE FROM YOU.
Great story for your first effort.
Characters, settings, pace and overall writing quality are excellent.
Thank you for showing us your story telling talent.
Awesome story. I really hope you do write the follow up regarding Sandoval.
Also, for those who love westerns, check out CJ Petit on Amazon. He writes great westerns, and they are only .99 each for Kindle.
I loved this story!! I also grew up (I'm 71 now) reading and enjoying Louis L'amour and Zane Grey. I enjoyed them immensely. I am looking forward to the stories about leaving the wagon train and about the revenge on Sandoval. Can't wait fir your next story!
Loved it. 5/5 Even better than chapter 1. Looking forward to more stories from you. Thanks for this one!
Thank you. I grew up reading westerns. Louis L'Amour was my all time favorite. You captured the true writing style of L'Amour. The hero fighting against impossible odds. The gunfighter's skill with the gun. The love of beautiful women. The honorable and gentleman cowboy. A wonderful author I know recently said that a good story is one that the reader can't stop reading until the end of the story. I couldn't stop reading the two parts. Keep writing the style you have. All the best in future endeavors. K
Yes a very good story keep on writing westerns there are not enough on here and you write well.
Very good start to your writing career! A follow up would be nice. Plus more, please. 5*
I've read the the same authors as you have this is a great companion piece to their story's.
begeisternd . eine der besten Stories in literocica . herzergreifend , packend , klasse !!!!
Excellent. Well crafted and well edited. We didn't get bogged down in minutiae. But how did she know about Mary and Desi? Not a criticism, but rather a plea for a follow-up story. Flash-back, maybe?
Ha! So fun. Thanks for your efforts. You really painted a picture of the setting and as much as I fell in love with Desi, I became captivated by Nancy. Thanks and cheers!
One of the best stories I have read... and I only read the highest rated stories on the site. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Great story. So glad to find a new Western writer. Look forward to more great reads. Many bravos.
I would definitely like to see a follow up on the missing years! Thanks for sharing
Would like to know why he has to go to Montana. Does he have money in the bank, property, or maybe shares in another ranch or business.
please write more stories.hard too find a good western.great writing thank you.
Top caliber story. I also read Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey growing up. This is in the same class. In some ways, it's better. Thank you for sharing your storytelling skills with your readers here.
You seem like Louis LaMore only better. I could not stop reading till I finished both stories. I am looking forward to more of your stories. You have a real talent making your characters come alive.
Well done. I have read a lot of Western stories by some very good authors and this is right up there with some of the best of them. Really enjoyed the reading of your work. Cheers Dave
I've read all your stories and I have to say you are up there with the best of them; HDK, the Wanderer, Slirpuff, Dreamcloud, Demander, Amyyum, Blackrandi, DG Hear, Qhml1, BH76, Laptopwriter, George Anderson all have the writing style as you, character and story first. I hope you continue writing, and look forward to your next story!
I loved it! Easily 5 stars. Thanks.
I have only read “Cody” so I’m looking forward to your other stories. If this is indicative you are an excellent writer..
Very good story. I'm a pedant and noticed the rifles went from holding 15 rounds to 21 rounds. In real life a 20" barrel would hold between 9 and 11, modern .357 magnum rounds a 19th century round like 45/70 might be at best something like 8 plus 1 in a 26" barrel.
The problem with Dynamite, wasn't the Dynamite itself it was storage and aging. Sweating nitroglycerine or crystals forming on the outside of the sticks.
I'd read developments of this story.
I assume during his 22 ? days semi-conscious that he talked of the Mary's and Desi. Good story, thanks.
Very good story. Ending was a little Abrupt but very good overall. I also REALLY enjoy westerns especially the Time Travel Westerns form CMSIX and Others.
A couple of points I would like to offer to a previous comment.
A 26-inch barrel 45-70 rifle would be an 1876 or 1886 and hold 10 rounds in the tubular magazine and 1 round in the chamber. The most common 45-70 rifles of the period were single shots thou.
As for the others, The Henry rifle with a 24-inch barrel held 16+1 44 rimfire cartridges.
The 1873 Winchester rifle with a 24-inch barrel held 14+1 44 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) also known as the 44-40 cartridge. There were other calibers available at that time but most of the cartridges were of a similar length and capacity was 1 cartridge more or less what I stated above.
The 1873 Winchester rifle with a 20-inch barrel was usually called a Carbine or Saddle Gun/Carbine and it held 12+1 44 WCF.
The 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifle had a similar capacity to barrel length as the 1873.
On a side note, The 45 Colt (aka-45 Long Colt) was NOT available for rifles at that time because the rim would not work in the lever action rifles of the time because of the "Balloon RIM" as it was called, and which was smaller than the modern rims of the cartridges found today.
The MODERN 45 Colt cartridges with the rim that is used currently was NOT developed until 1906 or 1907.
I know some of the above because I am a collector and precipitate in Cowboy Action Shoots in my area.
Excellent! Multiple reads, each as good as the last! Another chapter would be great!
