Such a great story! So glad I went back to re read them. Thank you so much true pleasure reading them! I'll have to save them in a collection I could go right back a read them again now!)) I surely can see opportunities continue this series! Hopefully 🙏

Was hoping the Sheriff would show up again!

Yes I absolutely agree the real Coy showed up! And I can definitely understand the need for a fictional location that's the country that keeps popping in my mind lol. I thru not to over do the stories lol my mom loved the Oregon Washington country tho she called it the closest thing to Eden there is. I rode a horse the first time on the beaches near Tacoma. Couldn't have been more than 3 summer of 66 stables bordered the beach they let her take 4 horses and 5 kids out on the beaches, we rode all over thier place, all day lol not sh.... you! She packed lunch picnic and all. Not a guide or any worry lol. Great memories lol

Great chapter! Wondering when Coy was going to step up. Considering the time it is all very understandable! Truly put together in such a believable way its easy to see them hear thier voices.... So i keep wondering....but they've gotta be up in North Washington, North of the Snake river lol I know it's fiction bur northwest Washington or Oregon are the only places I've ever seen like thier land, or even described as such. My parents worked thier Second pipeline job in Camas WA. 1955 They crossed Those mountains in a snowstorm traveling over night because hed got off one job and had to start another the next morning. My dad hauling a horse ( his bosses) in a 2 ton truck while my mom followed in a 49 buick. Tgey were 23yrs old at tye time. She An infant and 3yr old wrapped nd packed into the back seat. They made it in time for work. She picked him up that night had a small house rented in Camas and dinner in the oven warm. The old guy he worked wenching towing tractors over hills/mountains with at the time told me the story years later lol.... I asked em about it he said oh it wasn't that bad lol my mom laughed and said she ciukd barely make out his tail lights judging distances keeping off brakes shifting 3 on the tree etc... she said now that I ask she should been scared to death but it wouldn't have mattered they had to go. Neither one was going back to hoeing potatoes in Idaho! Which is where they were in 1953 🤣🤣... its a real long story how they got there after Osage Oklahoma lol... I

Definitely enjoying rereading! Not surprised Coy showed up at all..

Thank you for sharing such a great story! Looking forward to the contuation!

Well damn..i know he was an assassin but can he catch a break lol .... and brutal but I can imagine it worse; if uve ever seen the medieval torture chambers in Europe ud agree...

Great story ! It'd really hard to put down!) 👍

I didn't connect realize they were like a series. I definitely enjoyed them ! I'm going back to re read all three soon. Im following u now so i can see when u post new stuff 😊 again!)

You'll enjoy knowing the Awakening Land is a historical novel about the settlement nd development of Ohio by the first euro American settlers in the early 1800s. Not so much a western just folks following the Game with the incurable ich to see over the horizonyhat never comes , when west of Pennsylvania was wilderness and Ohio was like a rain forest. It's filled with old "woodsy" dialect it a hoot promise ull read it multiple times.! I've read the other 2 failed to connect its been awhile so I'll read them again !)) Take care and enjoy!!)

Thanks so much for sharing this great story! Truly hoping for part 2!? There's so much ahead of them just building thier horse ranch is enough lol...

I am sorry to hear of u loss. The first horse (18 mo wild filly) my dad called her green because we could get a hackamore bridle on her ) I learned to break/train on at 14yo. He won her in a poker game plus a Texas king saddle circa 1890s mint condition from an old horse trader in Okemah Oklahoma. She was half arabian half thoroughbred. Georgous silver coat dark grey blue legs to her knees full silver main. Fast n a spirit that never quit! He brought her in at 3am lol. Brideled Hacamoor He hated bits we only used bits a a couple if the "tough mouth hard headed crazy ones ", his words lol... He Saddled her showed me once how get on n stay on. Then took the saddle off and told me I could use a saddle on her when I wouldn't kill myself. He'd seen too many get caught in stirrups and drug course he didn't tell me that at the time. I just figured he was being an ass so I started off good it saves time anyway and swung up n took off lol. He didn't know I'd been riding the other little quarter morgan mixed mare bareback with out him around jumping logs, feed troughs etc lol but lord she tested me raring up twisting bucking till the sun was up on 10 wide open acres both mom n dad had lawnchairs and coffee out side with a full moon watching like they were enjoying a rodeo! 🤣🤣 spent all summer riding her bareback. Then I had to start using a saddle lol. Came back from Germany in 97 on vacation. She was @ 20 yo. My oldest was 7, we were rounding up his herd of 15 or so he'd cut it back by then. She came right up to me like a old dear friend nuzzling n pushing me to get on and go.... My dad quipped off think u can still swing up on her with just her mane and go... I laughed and said let's see. His and my sons mouth dropped when we took off like I'd ridden her the day before. Spent 3 weeks riding all of them. Came back several more times as my sons grew older. Sadly in 2004 during a bad ice storm she slipped down a rocky hill an broke her leg bad. Ice was so bad he had to walk to find them all. Was a 100 acre pasture 3 Miles away, much cleared but hilly still alot of brus n trees. He found her still alive nd walked home n got his 30odd6 rifle. He sat over there with a fire all night till my mom for thier 41 John Deere tractor crank start ( which I hated with a passion) they could start it like nothing! no shit! lol! Anyway they pulled her up n got her buried before the coyotes got her. They'd shoot coyotes n skunks on site always said coyotes are malicious will kill just to kill n skunks probly have rabies all justified from being depression babies in Oklahoma with hunger nd loss to coyotes n knowing folks bit by skunks, several did die of rabies.. In fall of 2005 I came back for a quick visit after a conference in San Francisco and he took me on the whole tour showing me where and how it all happened... I realized he'd been worried I'd hold it against him... he was no soft man and knew loss and pain... let me tell you I never ever saw him with a tear in his eyes till that night... benefit of him being 6 nd me 42...but that evening it was all I could do to keep myself together and convince him he'd done everything he possibly could've. We had horses running on that pasture for 30 years without an incident! I guess all that to say the loss of any loved creature but for hose folks there's something indescribable, when it's special u share a part of ur soul so when it happens a little of ya dies with em... how I see it anyway. ... I agree with ur opinion about spirituality n faith too... experienced good and bad both in churches and bars streets etc..... as my mom got older and we all grew up she herself would say it's your heart that counts I worked 30 years supporting army families in tge Army Child and youth programs and let me tell u with out faith one can eadily5 become hard n bitter... Oh I understand Jubal very well. Grew up in construction camps and right smack dab in the Bible belt with ranchers farmers n oil men from 63 to 1992! When i started school i a country school in Okfuskee Co. with k thru 12 yr. Totaling 225 kids. my 8th grade class of only one and had 25 kids. I started school there in 1976 I had my hair parted down the middle over my ears hip huggers and big ass fringed bell bottoms and a tight nylon tee-shirt just to the top of those pants and converse tennis shoes 🤣 tge first day of school! Just to be defiant! I literally had fist fights daily for 2 years after lunch was like a regular school activity.. was usually even fights lol i was short but stocky muscle and stout with very high pain tolerance benefits of the construction camps nd 4 older brothers! My parents philosophy was u better not start a fight but u better finish it if someone starts with you.. it was only because I was different not even about sexuality altho I was beginning to realize that was different too lol... by the time I was a sophomore I'd settled in and we were all half way friends. I could talk my way into bars and knew which liquor stores sold to minors so there was that lol would talk em into going up to tulsa to mostly country bars but occasionally got them to some good rock bars or those out of the way ... u best know ur way out quick .. ..powwows and rodeos... they just chalked me up as crazy and ran with it... lol the reunions are a hoot these days. They have a hard time believing what I ended up doing in my profession let alone still alive I actually do too sometimes 😆 when I think back... So Yep his caution is more that warranted I'm sure his neck scars are proof. He's lucky to be alive! I'm loving this story I'm hoping and seeing it could be a series!!??!!!!??? 🙏 please talk to Jubal for us!!! The Awakening Land is a combined book of set of a trilogy the trees,the fields and the town he wrote each in like the 30s or 40s but was published all together in the 60s. It's become a collectors item mine I happened on ages ago in an antique bookstore and is a first edition still perfectly in tact. I just looked online and they're pricey but I promise u well worth it! This book is a true historical heirloom and I'll bet ull feel right at home with the characters! Reading it many times... hope u find it!))

Truly thank you! It's ur talent and efforts I'm enjoying!! Ur skill in using thier dialect reminds me of the book "The Awakening Land" by Conrad Richter. About the settlers of Ohio. He did the same thing using speech from the elders he'd interviewed in the area along the Ohio River... it's a very good read if ur interested in reading in the true dialects.. Fortunately for us my Dad found his calling on the pipelines Driving a Sideboom tractor... did it for @30years... I was fortunate to travel alot as a kid. Till they settled on a small ranch started raising and training mostly Appaloosas. 2 miles from where Francis and Claude finally settled back in Okfuskee County on her parents place lol... He and my mom had a firm understanding about church. She could go anytime take us kids if we'd cooperate. But he'd sold too much bootleg in the 40s n early 50s to the preachers n deacons than hear em preaching against it Sunday morning...... they grew up in Osage County Oklahoma (if it rings a bell) His child hood stories of Pawhuska n all those little towns make the recent movie look like a Disney movie. He was @ 1/4 cherokee sooooo lol sorry let me get back to poor Jubal...
