Bartie (Bar-tee) Longshore was by far the cutest girl in the whole school. She was red headed weighing around ninety pounds and right at five feet tall with a very pretty smile. Her mother Sarah was the teacher and her father Oscar ran the mercantile in Clarendon Texas. A cowboy named Max Donner just knew she was his girl though Bartie would have nothing to do with him. She had only danced with him one time and that winded up in a fight between Max and Danny Bishop who was from Amarillo, and was the banker’s son.Danny was pistol whipped by Max and two of his friends and had to be taken forty miles home and to a doctor in Amarillo. The sheriff arrested Max and his friends but they broke jail two days later and hadn’t been seen since.Two years and four months later Bartie married Danny and they moved into a small house just a few blocks from the bank in northwest Amarillo. Danny worked for his father in that bank. When Danny was shot and the bank robbed, all hell broke loose and Bartie was arrested and jailed.

Six riders had come up as she and Dan walked out on the porch after eating a wonderful supper. With guns in hand one man hollered, “Yore two weeks is up Camden!”Dan had been shot dead and she lay still in a pool of her own blood. The children, Neil and baby June had saved her life. June staying by her side as Neil saddled a horse and rode four miles bringing back the doctor. Lord that seemed so long ago, but the two years since had pasted very fast.She was well and strong enough to go looking for those six men and kill every one of them and the man that sent them. Her gear was packed, she would want for nothing.

Emmet and Emma Overholt had brought their family of six kids from south Texas, along with grandpa and Grandma Garner, Emma’s ma and pa. They had two very well build covered wagons, pulled by six horses each. Roy the eldest boy and Jennie Sue, his eleven year old sister rode horses and drove fifteen milk cows with seven three month old calves. One contrary bull had to be hit on the rump at least ten times a day to keep him moving.Harmie was ten and walked behind the wagons with a long stick in hand driving nine sows and one boar. Twenty four piglets ran hard keeping up with their mothers.A chicken coop with ninety four hens and seven roasters was stowed under the belly of one of the wagons. Spring was in the air as they slowly moved westward.They stopped around noon to eat a bite of dinner. Emmet called over, “Grandpa, think we can get shelter built before hard winter?”“Best we do Boy, them winter winds blow cold an’ hard down that valley. You knowed that when you homesteaded.”“Yeah but that is one beautiful valley. How long now before we reach it?”“If no trouble, ten days er less. We’re almost home.”“Yeah about ten days was what I’s thinking.”They had trouble, outlaws trying to steal cattle and horses. The Overholt family was used to raiders down in Texas, so this bunch of outlaws got nothing but bullets and rode off licking their wounds, while swearing the ones left alive, after they healed up would be back.The only thing Emmet said was, “Don’t do it and live.”

Shorty came slowly riding into Denver, cradling a young girl in his arms. Behind the saddle sat a young boy no more than a year older than the girl. He rode straight to the doctor’s office and helped them inside.“Where did you find them Marshal? “Around twelve miles west of town. The rest of the family is dead. And two more men and women." "Did you get a name?”“Folks name was Homer an’ Rachel Gilbreath. The boy's Nate, the girl Sally Ann. Doc you watch after um. I’ve got some huntin’ to do.”“Do you have any idea who did this?”“No but I’ll dad burn shor find out. After I go back an’ bury that family that is.”
