About this ebook
We all went over to the sound and there in the bushes was a young Indian brave. He was in pretty bad shape. The other Indians must have thought he had run off when the fighting started, or maybe they didn't care because he was so young, so they didn't bother looking for him. He was probably ten or eleven years old, too young to be going on a raid like this.

I really can't explain how or why I write. It's like an explosion in my brain and the words come flowing out like a raging river and then other times like a frozen glazier. I wrote a twenty-eight page booklet of poetry over the course of two days and nights. I mention nights because as soon as my head hits the pillow, it's like a switch goes off in my brain and I have to write. J.C. Hulsey J.C. Hulsey has lived in Midlothian, Texas for thirty years. He's a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He has been married for 56 years. He enjoys Western movies and TV Shows, (especially the older ones) and reading about Mail-Order Brides. He is also the owner of six cats (all stray cats, showed up on the back porch) and one dog (rescue dog) He worked for 33 years at Bell Helicopter. He served in the USAF for five years, and the Air National Guard for four years. He has always wanted to be an author. He started writing songs in his early twenties. He recorded a couple of songs in the late 1960s. He started writing poetry in the 1970s to share with others. He self-published them on Amazon in 2013. He still felt the need to write something different. He tried writing a book in the 1970s, but it was never finished. In 2014, he felt the urge to write a western novel. However, he needed something different than what was on the market. What about a young Christian Gunfighter? He now has 44 books on Amazon.com

Clear Stone Wyoming - The Traveler #4 - J.C. Hulsey
CHAPTER ONE
Orville, Half Loaf, Wolf, and I returned last night from a failed hunting trip in the mountains of Angry Orchard, Colorado. We had gone to there to hunt some elk, but it got so cold and started snowing so much that we called it off and returned to the warm room at the hotel.
Early the next morning, I was awakened by the telegraph operator, who had a telegram marked urgent. I opened it and saw that it was from Dr Ferguson, the doctor I met on the stage when I travelled from Velvet Sky, Arizona to here. The telegram stated that the town of Clear Stone, Wyoming, needed my help. There were some men going there to inflict bodily harm on some of their leading citizens. They hadn’t arrived yet, but were expected at any time. If I could come, they wanted me as soon as possible. It was signed, Dr. Ferguson.
I talked it over with Orville and Half Loaf, and we all agreed that we needed to do this. If there were people that needed our help, it was our duty to help them.
Orville, Half Loaf, myself, and Wolf—a dog, and the newest member of our ragtag group—were going to start out for what we hoped would be about a six to eight-day trip.
Thinking back, I had travelled by stagecoach from Velvet Sky because the killer was already here, so, time was of the essence then.
After that situation was taken care of and I was waiting for my friends, Orville and Half Loaf, to arrive, I enjoyed walking around visiting with the people of Angry Orchard, especially Walter Barnes, the owner of the livery stable.
I escaped from a lovesick young lady that was bound and determined to marry me, then I rescued a dog. I couldn’t find a permanent home for him, so I decided to make him a member of our group and name him Wolf.
Orville said that everything was still packed from our failed huntin’ trip in the mountains, so we could leave for Clear Stone at any time.
Let’s eat breakfast, then check our outfit again to make doubly sure we have everything we need for this trip,
I said.
That sounds like a good plan,
Orville said. Where’re we gonna eat?
Let’s go to Shirley’s. She was real nice to Wolf and me while we were waiting for you guys.
We went to Shirley’s café where I told Wolf to wait like he always did by the door. Orville, Half Loaf and myself found a table in the back and sat down.
When Shirley came to wait on us, I said to her, I want to thank you for being so nice to me and Wolf while we were waiting for Orville and Half Loaf to show up,
Ah, shucks. It wasn’t no trouble at all. I enjoyed doing it. I would have thrown out all those scraps anyway. He saved me the trouble. Here’s a little something for him that you can take with you. Now, what’ll you fellows have?
We ordered a big breakfast, and it filled us up all the way. We said goodbye to Shirley, and gave her a big tip.
Orville said, I know you can’t marry me, but you could give an old man a big hug, couldn’t you?
On one condition . . . that I get a hug from all three of you. Okay? And a hug from Wolf, too.
We lined up and each of us gave her a hug that would have to last, as we probably wouldn’t be coming this way again. She stepped outside and gave Wolf a hug and told him she was going to miss him. He whined and licked her face.
We left Shirley’s and went to the livery stable, where we had our horses and wagon.
If I wus a little younger I jest might take off and go with you fellows,
said Rufus.
You ain’t a whole lot older’an me,
exclaimed Orville.
Maybe jest a might. Too much to be traipsing all over the country. I’ll jest have to say goodbye and good luck to you.
We all shook hands, then saddled and hooked up the horses to the wagon. We waved goodbye and took off.
How fer did you say it was?
asked Orville.
Not quite a hundred miles,
I answered. Should get there in a little over a week’s time, if we don’t run into any trouble.
Now that’s something I can do without,
said Orville.
Me also, I want no trouble,
exclaimed Half Loaf. How about you Jed, you want trouble?
"I don’t think I have to answer that
