About this ebook
No-Face patted the horse that Patamon marched out of her small stable.
"She is a fine horse, and she will serve you well." Patamon said.
No-Face nodded and tipped his hat politely at the old squaw. "Much obliged. Thank you, Patamon."
The old squaw shook her head, and smiled at No-Face. "No. Thank you, No-Face. If it wasn't for you, Woodson would have burned me alive, and taken my land. You are every bit of the legend that they say you are."
No-Face smiled from behind his red bandana.

The Squaw - The Legend Of No-Face 5 - John J. Law
Chapter One: The Last of Her Kind.
Bartholomew Woodson looked around at the land that was before him. There was grass and bushes for as far as his eye could see. Just across from him was a mountain range whose name escaped him at the moment. The large natural landmark was too large to miss, but from where Bartholomew and his men were standing, the mountains looked much smaller than they really were. A silly thought entered Bartholomew's mind, and for an instant, he thought that he could simply pluck the mountain from the land with both hands and carry it away, as if it were a packed sack of potatoes. He smiled to himself, and brushed the thought aside.
Too much ridin' makes a man think of all sorts of hogwash.
What did you say, Bart?
Nothing of consequence, Peck.
Most men would be intimidated by the sight of either Walton or Woodson, but for very different reasons. Walton was every bit different from Woodson in his manner, as his dress. Woodson wore an expensive black coat that was long and dragged down to his heels. His wide brimmed hat, and neatly combed moustache all spoke of his considerable wealth and pedigree. Peck Walton was a completely different animal. Walton wore a thick hat that was dusty and torn along the edges from overuse. Still, it managed to cover his shock of thick and curly blonde hair. Once Walton removed his hat, his hair sprang to life, and jumped in all directions, almost like a lion's mane. His face was wrinkled and withered, the result of several years of hard riding, and more than one nasty gunfight. Either way, both men were imposing in his own right.
Peck chewed on his tobacco as he spoke. This made for several dark froths of indistinguishable color staining his lips and teeth, making him look even wilder than he was.
I really don't see the point of going back here to this old squaw's place, Bart. I mean, she didn't sell the first time, and there ain't no reason that she's going to sell now.
Woodson and Walton rode a few more paces before coming to stop at a small shack. The shack was simple, and well-maintained. It appeared to be the only residence for miles around. He got off his horse, as he answered Walton's query.
I don't pay you to question my actions, Peck. I pay you for protection, and your skill with them guns, and nothin' else.
Peck chuckled, as he got off his steed. He tightened his belt, and checked his revolver. It was in fine condition, and was clearly ready for any kind of action.
Normally, I wouldn't take such a remark lying down from any man, Bart.
Woodson smiled at Walton, revealing several rows of pearly, white teeth. His chompers were just another indication of Bart Woodson's wealth. Perfectly clean teeth were a luxury in such times, and Woodson never passed up
