This was a fine story to start off the week. It is nice to take a little walk back into history. 5 stars

Excellent. Two love stories in the offing but left tantalisingly open. Another history lesson. 5 again

Great story line. The description of a cow/calf operation spot on. As was the cleaning of the rifle. Fine job as usual, thank you.

Excellent story, the one aspect of your stories I enjoy the most is nearly always the peek into someone else’s skill set and work life, the technical aspects of what you describe always appear spot on and add to the story to give it plausibility. As an engineer living in the U.K. and with zero personal interest in guns I’m still interested in how and why they work (hey I found out how an old CRT TV worked when I was 13!), consequently the parts of this story dealing with the practical side of a gunsmiths work were fascinating. The fact that they add to the story and don’t deflect the reader from the actual storyline itself, speaks well of both your judgement as a writer and your editing. Great job on this one in particular, many thanks for both writing and posting, regards, Ppfzz. 5⭐️

I love your stories. You get us involved with your characters and then take us on a journey. I enjoy the ride and often sorry the story has ended.

I am always glad to see another story that you have posted. This one was a nice story, with a bit of common sense thrown in for good measure. What I particularly liked was the quote from the Bible, as it fit the characters and the story perfectly. Five stars.

In these you are the best. Love you old times stories.

Maybe you can create a story or two from the middle age like cross wars? Or the roman age in several countries around Italy or Kathargo only to name some.

Excellent story! I received a history lesson today. Had to look up Whitworth rifles and learned something I had zero knowledge of. I like the fact you really research for your stories. Please keep them coming. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very fun short story! Just FYI, here's what his Bible back then would have actually said: "But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes."

Another Great Story...!!!!

Might we see another in the future with these characters???

A really excellent story, almost entirely believable. (Anonymous from a week and more ago is right about the wording of the Biblical quotation, of course, and I might question another point or two; but as usual your range of knowledge awes me.)

.

When I saw "Denver City" I had to wonder--that's in Texas, after all. But I checked some, and you're right, that was the original name. I didn't bother to check the exact dates.

.

I wish a whole lot more writers on this site would learn that a romance isn't two people meeting in a bar, say, and falling for each other long enough to fall into bed. You give the characters actual pasts and personalities tied to those pasts, real motivations for what they say and do.

.

Thank you!

Super great story. Please continue with a part 2 and 3 and on and on. 5 stars all day.

AnonymousAnonymous13 days ago

I agree with ‘heydog52’, all of your stories have been excellent! The only problem I have is that I would love to see them continue on with more of their lives. Parts 2, 3 etc. LM

How did they try Riggs for murder when Richardson wasn’t well enough to attend. I don’t think he died but they hung Riggs anyway,hmmmmm!! Lol

Women tend to be the central characters in my stories, because I find their complex personalities to be fascinating. My stories come from my life experiences or the thoughts inspired by people I have met. I am an avid fan of history and especially the history of the America...
