Longarm And the Horse Thief's Daughter (2013)
“It was a hardscrabble outfit if Longarm ever saw one. It consisted of a Sibley tent set up on a bench beside the waters of a small stream, along with a tarp strung on what was left of some tree trunks after the tops had been harvested for some reason.
The beginnings of a mine showed on the canyon wall above the camp. A trash heap of broken rock spilled down the hillside below the mine opening.
Longarm did not know how many men might have been inside the hole, but he clearly saw the one ...who set aside the pans he was busy washing and picked up his rifle at the first sight of a stranger approaching.
“That’s close enough, mister,” the guard called out when Longarm was about thirty yards downstream from the claim. “Halt and state your business.”
“Passing through, that’s all,” Longarm shouted back to the man.
The fellow was lean and shaggy. It looked like it had been weeks since he’d had a shave, longer since his last haircut.MoreLess
