The Legend of Mongrel Smith

This story begins in Oklahoma City abut 1830, in a small orphanage right at the edge of town. The orphanage was run by a woman who was the widow of a lawman who was gunned down during his attempt to stop a bank robbery attempt only yards from their home.

She was a woman of about 30 years, and had decided to start an orphanage to help ease her mind of the sadness of her loss. She was a patient woman with black, wavy hair that cascaded over her shoulders down to her waist. She constantly dressed in clothes that were black in color, another tribute to her dead husband.

One of her orphanage children was a special character, and he would let everyone know just how different he was from the other children.
