King of Spades (2015)
“June, 1875.
Earl Ransom 1 Two bearded horsemen detoured around an outcropping of fire-gnawed rocks. Each man led a string of four gray mules. The mules stepped along under light packs.
Toothy mountains on the left slowly retracted into the gums of a soft red land. Wind-combed prairies on the right gradually faded off into the mist of oncoming night.
The two men had taken their time coming north out of Denver. The eight mules, grazing mostly on buffalo grass, were silky and high-spir...ited. The two horses, both tan mustangs, were spunky.
The man in the lead was Sam Slaymaker, sometime freighter and prospector. He was the older, and a powerful chunk of a man. He was inclined to be fleshy when in town in the winter, and rawboned when on the trail in the summer. His long curly hair was gray, as was his bushy mustache, while his chin whiskers were as black and as scraggly as the beard of a buffalo bull.MoreLess
