Magnificent Passage
“The camp was like a battle line. No one said a word through breakfast. They ate hurriedly and resumed the journey.
The day was sunny and clear, the crispness in the air a testament to the last rays of summer, but they rode along in silence. The stiff breeze shook the towering pines, creating a lonely sound that reflected the bleakness of his friends’ moods.
Night camp wasn’t much better. The air was thick with hostility, sideways glances, and accusing stares. Tomorrow they would reach Great Sal...t Lake City and James was determined to end this feud between his two companions.
