Remembrance And Regret

Fargo Stone had wandered over many of the western territories, working at a number of different jobs, including wrangler, stagecoach shotgun guard, scout for the Army, and in three different towns, as a Lawman. Other than the basic need for food, his other main reason for taking employment was in the hopes of finding work that would enable him to escape some bad memories that he had never been able to elude. Thus it was while drifting down into an unfamiliar valley, hoping to find work in exchange for a meal, Fargo found himself sitting across the dinner table from the pretty owner of the Circle G ranch, Rusty Gallagher. Once he learned that Rusty's neighboring ranch owners were trying to take her land, and might well have been responsible for killing her father, and some of their ranch hands, Fargo found it difficult to think of moving on and leaving her to the fight. Once he discovered that other than one old hard headed former mountain man, who had refused to leave, the rest of her ranch hands had quit, Fargo decided that this was the right place to make use of the skills he'd picked up in the course of his travels since leaving home at fourteen years of age.
