Not Quite a Mail Order Bride (Mail Order Brides)
“Clara told them to be good and not give Hetty any trouble and she would bring them each a piece of candy home. They both promised to be on their best behavior.
As they pulled out of their yard, two ranch hands fell in behind them. Both carried a Henry Repeater and a Colt 45. This became a habit after Luke and Clara had been ambushed by Indians on the way into town. One of his men had been shot, as had Luke. Clara had shot and killed two Indians as they were closing in on them for the cou...p de grace. With Luke bleeding profusely and Clara putting compression on the wound, and their remaining ranch hand driving, they made a mad dash for Laramie. According to the doctor, Clara had saved his life for the second time that day. She had not left his bedside until the doctor had finished and assured her Luke would live.
There had been no problems with marauding Indians for several months, but Luke was taking no chances. The riders were off to either side of the wagon.MoreLess
