Wonderful story!

Nice story. Just enough, not too much.

3 Lit pages and so much detail. Never heard of mule skinners but you explained their life and working in detail. I wondered where it was going the suddenly she burst onto the scene and we galloped to the ending. 5⛤ again.

Excellent!

Has enough to be the basis of a series. Plenty of interesting characters each of whom could be a MC of a tale.

Added to favorites!

Added to following!

5*.

Conjures memories of Frankie Lane and "Muleskinner Blues." And the joy of found love. Superb.

Well, I learned more about driving' a mule than I knew before...

Well done.

I believe this one could be filled out into a full length novel. Mule skinning was fascinating as was the cap and ball revolver lesson.

I just want to add, what a sweet Romance. Ronde is a very prolific writer, but also a very good one.

Excellent history lesson and a beautiful story. Makes me wonder how many other widowed / single women went West after the Civil War and disguised themselves as men. Regardless, thanks for another great writing.

a wonderful story. I love to read your stuff.

Good stuff. Engaging, not teachy. Very nice tone and flow. Thank you very much.

I don't know how you manage such a wide range of subjects. As near as I can tell, your research is really good. It is such a pleasure to gain interesting knowledge while reading a good story

Those people lived tough lives and this story gives the reader some idea of that. It was well constructed and a pleasure to read. The characters were really likeable. 5*

Another winner mate

Lovely story tho implausible.

Femininity is very hard to hide.

A nice, sweet story. As they say, behind every successful man is a good woman pushing him.

I realize that this is the fictional world of Literoticia, yet I’m wondering how Joseph/Josephine could have pass herself off as a young boy for so long given her different needs for hygiene…especially urination, dealing with her periods, bathing, etc.

That said, 5*****

A very touching story.

Another outstanding story. Thank you, sir.

I LOVE A WESTERN TALE, THANK YOU. CINCO ESTRELLAS!

By gum, you really excel in your characterisations. Your scene-setting is a delight to

read, because of its seeming authenticity.. I can hear the mule harness creaking, the

muleteers cursing, the cargo rattling, the sound of iron wheels over the ground, that

harsh, screech of the brake blocks, the mules gruntings. The ease of educating

the reader with detail, so artfully woven into the story, is without parallel in this venue.

Having read your treatise on thr art of writing conversation I can appreciate how you

use that discipline youself. I'm ploughing through your body of work and emmensely

enjoying myself.

Another great story - thank you

Peapod41. Double fail this time, You still can't spell "the", one of the most used words in the English language and you seem to have invented a new word "emmensely".

Another 100 lines, same as last time.

:) Don't miss this one!
