Between Hell And Texas (2011)
“Chet and Heck with a pack horse carrying war bags and bedding. Drinking water got to tasting worse by the day, and the temperature soared higher. Lots of creosote bushes, a few jackrabbits, and some rattlesnakes thrown in. When they could even find a ranch, they stopped and offered to buy their meal. Only a few took their money and most wondered why the two of them were out there. In two weeks, they arrived in El Paso. Chet sold the horses and they boarded the stage line that ran to Tucson. The...y crossed more desolate land over New Mexico, and eventually somewhere into eastern Arizona saw their first saguaro cactus. Heck rode on top of the coach a large part of the way.
A gambler told Chet about the wild town of Tombstone, with all the fortunes won and lost down there. Chet had no time to take a side trip and swung though Benson on his way to Tucson. May heat was turning the winter growth of annuals to brown when they arrived in the hot, walled town of Tucson. Two dead burros lay in the street, hogs keeping cool in the depressions where the slop water was tossed out.MoreLess
