Chapter I—Peace in the Coso Valley
Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders at Circle O Ranch · Josephine Chase
Chapter I—Peace in the Coso Valley
Stacy’s dream is interpreted. Jim-Sam proves to be a problem. A guide that could howl like a coyote. “Mules, like some fellers, is contrary critters.” Sam’s whiskers are expressive. A peace that was rudely broken.
Chapter II—On the Road to Trouble
The Overlanders prepare for defense. Stacy’s weapon a tent stake. Emma Dean in the toils. The shot that stopped the roper. “Let ’em have it!” yells the guide. All because of the fat boy’s dream. The alarm.
Chapter III—An Invitation to Move
“Sit tight!” orders Hippy. A caller who threatened trouble. Sam Conifer passes the lie. “I reckon I’d kill ye whar ye stand!” Hands flash to weapons. The stranger is ordered out of camp. When brains were mixed.
