The Trail West Ch. 02

Impressive

It takes a lot of guts to write a western. Everyone KNOWS what the old west was like, even though most of us really don't. You need to be true to the era and not lose sight of the storyline. It takes a lot of work and some real talent to back up the effort, in order to get it right. Thankfully you have what it takes and are giving us a great story. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful!

Westerns are not at all my cup of tea, but you had me at hello. I read the first two chapters in one siting, and cannot wait for the next installment.

Fairly good, nice first western

You don't need to recap the previous chapter, especially since you are posting every day.

good story, I'll be looking forward to more. I read and liked other stories you've written, you're one of the authors I look for

more needed

sure like this type of writing. please continue SOON

Very good.

You write well. Easy, smooth and pleasant to read. Good story. Keep it up. I am with you to the last sunset.

Yup!

You write it like you lived it. Your story line and characters come to life and take the reader right into the middle of things; we immediately identify with the characters and feel their emotions and the physical sensations of the colorful surroundings of another place and time.

These people, events and place of another time take on a life of their own as events begin to unfold.

The first two chapters of your story go down like smooth whiskey in an easy chair next to a warm fire on a cold night. Keep it up!

Nicely done

I was afraid that Josh was born perfect but it turns out that he still has
things to learn as we all do.

Wonderful as always

Wonderful story by one of my favorite authors. There is that perfect mix of great characters and compelling story that makes for great reading.

an interesting way to insert a story

within a story. It will be in the background as I wonder if they will meet again in Oregon.

Great story teller!

As I told you before, the last time I read this, your talent and expertise is second to none. Only a little more attention to grammar is needed to make perfect "FIVES" to all tales.
It is said, "Those that CAN, DO. Those that CAN'T, CRITICISE".
Examples: "road" and "rode" are different words with different meanings.
"Your" and "you're" are also different. When speaking of things in the past, please use Past Tense.
Contrary to most Yankee opinions, us “rednecks” do not address a solitary person as “Y’ALL”. If we say to a solitary person “Y’all come to see us.” we simply mean that the invitation is extended to their entire family or organization. It’s courtesy. Something most Yankees would be unable to recognize anyway.
Thank you for your most enjoyable stories.
