Day 89 - Wednesday, July 28, 1847
Andy woke me up sometime after midnight and said for me to get up. I dressed and got out of the wagon, then asked in a low voice, "What's up?"
"There are four men camped about a half mile to the east of here. I think one of them is the man who was bidding against you at the auction."
"What do you think they're up to?" I asked. I was scared, but I hoped it didn't show in my voice.
"I think he wants Delia and Dalia. What is he willing to do to get them? I don't know, but I think we should be prepared for the worst."
"Okay, I agree. When do you think they'll make themselves known?"
"I'd say at first light. They'll probably come into camp before they think any of us are up."
"Then, we should have a surprise waiting for them. First off, I think we should get everyone out of camp and put them somewhere safe."
"Yeah, I agree. I wonder if Jud can shoot a gun?"
"I used to do all ob da huntin fo Massa Wilson," Jud said from where he had sneaked up behind us.
"Shit, Jud, you like to have scared the crap out of me. Could you shoot a man if you had to? A white man?"
"I know what dey planning ta do ta my babies," Jud said. "I could shoot 'em."
"Good. What I think we should do is get our families to safety. I'll start a camp fire before daylight and start some coffee brewing. Jud, you and Andy need to be hiding where you're not going to be seen. Once they ride into camp, I'll try to talk to them. If they act threateningly toward me, then shoot the bastards."
Andy nodded. "That's probably the best way. If I fire a shot, Jud, start shooting the bastards. I'll have a revolver and you can take Ed's revolver."
"Remember, Jud, it's your babies you're protecting," I said.
"My babies and my friends."
Jud said he'd wake his family and get them ready to move out. Andy volunteered to wake M & M and Tommy, but I said I thought Sam should do that and that they should be the last to be awakened. He had to agree.
I went into the wagon and quietly awakened Sam and Cassie. "We have a problem. The guy who was bidding against me at the auction is camped with three other guys not far from here."
"What are we going to do?" Sam asked in a concerned, but calm voice.
"We want to get you ladies and the kids hidden in the woods. Come morning, Andy, Jud, and I will take care of them. Andy and Jud will be hidden when they come into camp. If I can talk them out of doing anything, then fine. Otherwise, Andy and Jud will take them out from ambush."
"That sounds good, except I'm going to be hidden close to the camp too. If trouble breaks out, I plan to protect my husband. I'm a pretty good shot with a rifle now, you know," Sam said.
I had been giving Sam and Cassie lessons in shooting since we had left Maine. I had wanted them to be able to provide for themselves if something happened to me. They really had gotten very good.
"I'll be there too," Cassie said. "There's no way we're going to depend on someone else to protect our husband."
My heart felt as big as Virginia. I knew there was no use arguing with them and I knew they would be relatively safe, so I let it drop. While we had been talking, the girls had gotten dressed.
"Do you have any idea where we should put the kids?" Sam asked.
"Not really. I'd say somewhere across the creek and far enough away they'll be safe if any shots are fired."
"I know just the place," Cassie said. "Delia and I were walking over there this afternoon. There's a dead fall you could hide a dozen people behind."
"Okay, Jud is waking his family up. We need to quietly wake the kids and get them moved over there. Take all of the sleeping bags and some blankets so they're nice and snug."
Sam and Cassie moved out as silently as a mountain lion stalking its prey. If I had been watching the camp from fifty yards away, I don't think I'd have even known anything was going on.
Within twenty minutes, Andy, Jud, Sam, Cassie and I were the only ones in camp. Sam took my rifle and made sure it was loaded properly. Andy loaned his rifle to Cassie. I helped the women find places where they could watch the camp, but where they wouldn't be seen. Each of them took a blanket to wrap up in.
My guess was that it was now around 2:00 AM. It was still several hours until morning. Andy, Jud and I decided we were going to try to get a couple of hours sleep each. One of us would stay on watch for an hour and then he'd wake another one. Andy said he was too keyed up to sleep, so he'd take the first watch.
I thought I might have trouble sleeping as well, but as soon as I laid down, I was out. Andy woke me up two hours later. He hadn't been able to sleep, so he stood Jud's watch too.
I got up and walked around a bit to make sure I was going to stay awake. The next hour dragged by, but finally, I woke Jud and Andy up. I started building a camp fire and got some coffee brewing, while Andy went off to make sure Sam and Cassie were awake.
I didn't want to be left completely defenseless, so I tucked the little .32 automatic in the back of my pants, under my shirt. I was sitting there, sipping on my second cup of coffee when I heard horses coming.
I waited patiently while they rode into camp. As Andy had said, there were four of them. "Good morning," I said with what I hoped passed for a smile. "Get down and have some coffee."
"We didn't come here for coffee," the fop said. "We came here for the nigger bitches."
"I told you they're not for sale," I said.
"Oh, we ain't planning on buying them. I offered to buy one of them from you, but you wouldn't take a fair offer. Now, we're just going to take both of them. If you cooperate, you can stay alive. If not, then we'll have to kill you before we take them away."
"Now, that might be just a little difficult for you to do. There are four guns aimed at you right now by people who know how to use them and who wouldn't hesitate for a second before blowing you away. If you'll just turn around and ride out of camp right now, we'll just say it was a mistake on your part and let it go at that."
"You're bluffing, you bumpkin. Bring the bitches out now."
"Bob, maybe we should listen to him," one of the other men said.
"I'm not going to listen to him, I'm going to put a bullet through him," the fop said as he reached for a revolver.
I don't know who shot first and I don't know who hit whom. All I know is that before either the fop or I could get to our guns, all four of the men were on the ground. I'm sure I heard at least six shots fired and there may have been more. None of them came from the men on the ground.
Sam and Cassie came splashing across the creek and threw their arms around me. Andy and Jud came out of the bushes more slowly, still alert to the men on the ground. Jud went over to them and pushed on each of them with the toe of his moccasin. One of the men groaned, so Jud shot him in the head. A few seconds later, Sarah Beth came running across the creek and threw her arms around Andy.
"They're all dead," Jud said as he walked away from them. "If any ob dem had been alive, we'd hab all been hanged by tomorrow."
"He's right," Andy said. "We should take anything of value that they have and bury them."
In some ways it didn't seem right to rob the dead, but they had been prepared to kill all of us, so I couldn't think It was too bad a thing. "Okay," I nodded. "Let's see what they have on them."
Three of the men had almost fifty dollars between them. The fop had over five hundred in gold coins in his saddlebags. All of them had revolvers. Andy said there was a ravine off to our right, so we dragged the bodies there. Only the fop had anything on him that told who he was. He had a bill of sale for one of the black men at the auction made out to Robert Pierpont Wadsworth.
We stripped them and tumbled them into the ravine, then caved the bank in on them.
After a few weeks, no one in this age would be able to identify the bodies even if they washed out. We figured we'd burn pieces of their clothing at each camp we made. We kept their horses and saddles. I know that was a risk, but we just couldn't see throwing away a couple of hundred dollars worth of horses.
Mina made breakfast and after we had eaten, we loaded the wagon and tied the new horses on behind it with lead ropes. We started out almost due west. I thought I remembered from the history courses I had taken that they were always looking for runaway slaves throughout the south. I was afraid that if we headed back north right away, we'd at least be stopped.
I also thought that Kentucky was part slave and part free. Our cover story was going to be that we were going to Kentucky to buy horses for our ranch in North Carolina.
Jud had driven wagons all of his life, so he took over driving our wagon. Mina rode beside him on the box and Delia and Dalia rode inside. We were going across country, but I wanted to get on a road as soon as we could. I knew we were going to be going through some mountainous country, so I figured it would be easier traveling if we went by road.
We had actually come about fifteen miles before we ran into what would later become US-60. I thought that would be a good way to go. Since it was late afternoon and we were all tired from lack of sleep last night, we decided to camp early. We went about a quarter of a mile off the road and found a nice place to camp.
Andy said we should hobble all of the horses and mules, so we did. Except for Hawk. He still thinks he's a puppy and hangs around our camp, even if there's much better grass elsewhere.
I noticed Delia and Dalia were walking very stiffly after they had gotten out of the wagon, so I asked Delia about it.
"It's riding in that wagon that's got us all stoved up. It was a lot easier on Dalia and me when we were riding behind you guys."
"Would you like to ride horses of your own tomorrow?" I asked.
Both of them thought that would be great.
I asked Jud and Mina after dinner if riding on the wagon had been okay for them and both of them said it had been. It turns out that the wagon doesn't have any springs, but the seat in the wagon box does. I could see why it had been a much more comfortable ride for Jud and Mina.
We were all so tired we turned in long before it was dark. When Sam, Cassie and I had cuddled up, Sam said, "We need to talk about M & M and Tommy. I was very surprised and a little shocked with what I saw when I went in to wake them up last night."
"What was that?" I asked.
"All three of them were lying in bed, naked. Tommy was in the middle. He had a hell of a hardon for a kid his age and Mindy had her hand wrapped around it, like it belonged to her."
I had to laugh and Cassie started giggling. "So, the little shits have discovered sex at an early age. Do you think they've done anything besides show, touch, and feel?"
"I doubt it," Sam said hesitantly. "I'm not sure a boy Tommy's age can even do it."
"If he can get a hardon, he can do it. The question is, can the girls do it. Their vaginas have to be tiny at this age."
"Yeah, but I remember girls I went to school with talking about sticking a large crayon inside themselves when I was that age," Cassie said. "Tommy's penis can't be much bigger around than a large crayon."
For some reason this got us all giggling. After we calmed down, Sam said, "I think I'll have a talk with them. I don't want to make them afraid of sex, but I do want them to be responsible. I want them to know to wait until they know they are ready before they do anything."
"I think that's a good idea, honey. Let them know that you and Cassie were both virgins until you got with me."
"Yeah, you old devirginator, you," Cassie giggled.
Of course, I had to tickle her and that led to kisses and caresses, which led to gentle love making. I was pleased to see Sam making love to Cassie's beautiful breasts as Cassie and I were making love.
Day 90 - Thursday, July 29, 1847
We got a good, early start this morning and were on the road by 7:00 AM. We weren't trying to go fast, just steady. We got Delia and Dalia mounted on two of the horses we had acquired from the men who had attacked our camp. They seemed much better satisfied.
Short shore story of love to me by a young beauty and her momWhen I washed ashore, I was completely wasted and exhausted.I was so lucky she found me... Camila took care of me well!She dragged me to her mothers house at the beach by my arms.They washed me. Wetted my thirsty lips and I slept long.All kind of weird images in my mind: shipwrecked, swam so long.Long for the shore and life... I want more love in my life...When I woke up, she smiled at me and told me her name.Hi, I'm Camila. You must...
We did get a breakfast fixed of sorts and we ate it with relish. "You know, we probably don't have more than ten or twelve miles before we're in Portland," I said. "We could see about spending the night in a tavern if you guys would like." "I'd be a little bit afraid to, Ed," Sam said. "We'd either have to leave all of that gold with the horses, or we'd have to lug it up to our room. I'm afraid that either way it would be noticed." "Damn, you're right. You know, we might...
Brainwashed By Cassandra Morgan The Americans entered the village silently, covered by the dark of the night. Helicopters had transported them through the nearby Kush Mountains, and then they'd made their way on foot to Biryam. There, like death in the darkness, they made their way through the streets, not speaking, communicating only by hand gestures. There weren't that many soldiers. There had been more during the great wars. But most of the local terrorists were scattered now,...
Day 71 - Saturday, July 10, 1847 The tavern we stayed in last night was very nice. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We had a wonderful seafood dinner before we retired to our room. When I awoke this morning, I was just feeling lazy, so I asked everyone if they'd like to stay over a day. I didn't hear any objections, so we decided we'd just make today a lazy day. We finally got dressed and went down for breakfast. It was every bit as good as dinner had been last night....
It was late by the time I got to the gym. The parking lot was half-empty and the last few patrons were already trickling out. Still, according to my heavy schedule, I had a short half-hour to exercise. I hoped that I wouldn’t be turned away. I’d only signed up for the trial a couple of weeks previously and this was my first time there since I’d moved into town. The receptionist warned me that I was quite late getting started. “It’s ten after eleven, so you’d better be done soon,” she said, “We...
Gay MaleWashed, Waxed, and Polished By Jena Corso Edited By Julie Manners Part 1 Jordan pulled up to the high end auto spa and stepped out of his red Ferrari convertible. He slapped hands with the workers and sat on a bench outside the place as they began their weekly routine of washing, waxing, and polishing his car. He looked down at his ipad, watching a movie, until he heard the cackling of the girls as they parked in the lot next to him. "There's your weird friend again, Jodi,"...
Washed, Waxed, and Polished By Jena Corso Edited By Angela Myers Part 2 "Candice, please be careful," said Jordan as he squeezed into the front seat next to Jodi. "Oh stop worrying." Candice buckled up and pulled away from the curb. "This is going to be fun." "But how about not making me vomit, though? Teased Jodi as Candice was quickly stopping and starting, jerking everyone back and forth. "Shut up," Teased Candice. "It just takes some getting used to. This is...
Day 36 - Saturday, June 5, 1847 We spent all of the next day making a trip to Newry and back. We ate lunch there and this time we were treated to home made bread. Sam stayed with Mrs. Jenkins for a while after Cassie and I left for the general store. The storekeeper was surprised to see us again. "We still haven't seen hide nor hair of that brother of mine," I said. "We'll hang around another month and if he hasn't shown up by then we'll go on to Bangor." "I sure hope nothing's...
She was wearing a bikini which was barely covering her nakedness, and even as I tried to rouse her, my cock jumped to hang fuller, unconcealed by clothing. I didn't even notice; I was desperate to get some sign of life from the woman. I listened at her chest, my ear on one of her pert breasts, and heard breath. The sound of breathing was like the most beautiful music in the world, and with that music in my heart I squatted over her with my hands on her shoulders, shaking her...
Now suppose it wasn't just a joke... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam was barking again. When we'd first washed up on the beach a month ago, I used to get nervous whenever he'd bark, but now it just annoyed me. "Shut up dammit!" I yelled into the darkness and tried to go back to sleep. But Sam wouldn't stop barking, so I finally opened my eyes to see the sun peeking over the top of the waves to the east. Dawn on a desert...
Want to know more? How hot cute Camilla and lovely Laura washed and wasted me?We were wet from sweat and our love juices after our sexy sixty-nine.Laura had watched us and could use a shower herself as well. She took us.She just grabbed a hand of each of us, pulled us up and walked us to the bath.Soon warm water was coming from all sides. We splashed, soaked and soaped. We tickled and giggled. We kissed and caressed. Hot hands and lips everywhere.Some special private parts of our bodies rose to...
To tease me, Camila had dressed up a bit, but only in her skimpy mini-skirt.Laura had left us alone, knowing that her dear would take well care of me.What had happened to me? I hardly could remember ... I washed ashore and she saved my life by dragging me off into this paradise ... Was I really alive?Soon I was back again where I was, as Camila carefully caressed her cleavage along my small sailor-mate, who was also waking up to the pleasant preasure.Saluting to her attention he stood firm and...
Sam: Preparing for the trip to St Joseph Okay. Tomorrow we leave for St Joseph. I thought it had been frantic the other day when the men left with the cattle. It wasn't half as bad as it was today. There were still nine family members at the ranch and I think they must have asked nine questions each before noon. To top it off, Becky picked this morning to be cranky. She spent a lot of time crying and I kept trying to get her to stop. Finally, Delia put Becky in her carrier on her chest....
Sam: St Joseph, Missouri Well, Becky is two months old today. It may sound silly, but Delia and I made a big thing out of it. We both spent a lot more time holding her than we normally did. Becky is a treasure. She's old enough now that she can control her head movements. She loves to grab your finger and hold on for dear life. She also has a smile that lights up my world. We didn't have any more shootings today, but we did have another family come in. The Tiptons are an early twenties...
It's the 12th day of research, and you're starting to regret taking this assignment. You walk the deck checking the various instruments mounted along the ship, for the 5th time that day, out of boredom than any concern. "Relax, doc!" The captain smiles you pass him. "Nothing but clear skies and smooth seas for miles." He motions to a small red cooler of beer at his feet. You wonder how much of the hold is devoted to this man's beer. You start to correct him, but have come to take the term as a...
The steaks were huge, around a pound each. Sam finished hers and about a third of the one I had before she pushed back from the table. "What was that wonderful salad dressing?" she asked. "Just something I whipped up. Actually, I've been trying to perfect the recipe for a long time. I think it's getting close." "Close, hell. If it were any better, it would be illegal." Sam had a way of making me laugh. After we had eaten, Sam moved her clothes from the washer to the dryer and came...
Day 0 - Sunday, April 17, 2005 When I woke up, Sam was still in my arms. I could see the clock from where we were sleeping, so I knew we had plenty of time before our flight. I let Sam sleep another fifteen minutes, then woke her with a gentle kiss. She stretched and groaned, then her eyes flew open. "Today's the day!" she said. "Yep. It's going to take us almost all day to get there. The last leg of the trip is by charter, since there's no scheduled air service to...
The GPS said we were less than five miles from Bangor when we camped for the night. The skies were really starting to cloud up as we made our camp and pitched our tent. We fixed dinner quickly and had just finished eating when the first raindrops started to fall. We went into the tent and got undressed. When we were in our sleeping bags, I kissed Sam and started to fondle her breasts. "You said you used to make out with another girl," I said. "Did she ever lick your pussy?" "Yu, yes,"...
Day 12 - Friday, April 29, 2005 When Sam and I awoke, we were warm and snug, cuddled together in our sleeping bag. The problem was, outside our sleeping bag, it was freezing, literally. You could see every breath we took. "I don't wanna get up," Sam whined. "I wanna lay right here all day and snuggle." "It's not going to get any warmer, Love. They have some really freaky weather here in Maine in April." "Yeah, I know I have to get up. My bladder will burst if I don't. I just...
Our imposing man had an imposing horse as well. It was a huge gelding that Andy said would carry him all day without getting tired. He also had a young, strong pack mule. We made quite a procession as we rode out of New Brunswick. Andy kept us entertained all day with tales of his experiences while he was trapping. I'm sure some of the stories were even true. Well... At least some of them had parts that were true. Well... Maybe some of them had a small part that was true. Others, I'm...
Special powers, magical items, aliens, monsters, and all manners of mind controlling devices. These are the recipes for mayhem. Through the actions of the controllers and the controlled, it will be the start of something truly corrupt, degenerate, depraved. It would be a cataclysm, a nudge down the wrong direction, to come spiraling down into endless orgasmic fantasies of shameless sex and licentious debauchery. There will be no inhibitions. No sense of logic or reasoning. No holds barred. No...
Mind ControlI didn't know if I should meet. Mr. and Mrs. Bohner were expecting me for my first visit and my inspection. I had been waiting for this day for a long time, but the seriousness of what I was getting myself into was only now hitting me. I had told Mrs. Bohner that I was willing to submit to her and her husband. I had made promise to be subject to their desires and to be trained to fulfill any need they may have in their family. Now as I stand at their door my heart is racing with thoughts about...
Slowly his eyes opened, bringing the room before him into focus. It was not the most well-lit room in the world, but as he adjusted to the gloom, he began to notice two things. One, that he was nude, and two, that he was secured into a chair by steel manacles on his ankles, thighs, waist and neck. His arms, oddly, were free.“Awake at last, I see,” Purred a feminine voice from nearby.He moved his head about as much as the neck restraint would allow, but she was walking around to stand before him...
And then there was the ewe. I could recognize her by her eyes as she stared out of the flock at me. Her black face and ears contrasted with her pure white wool, making her sparkle in the light of the afternoon sun. She seemed happy to see me too, trotting over and looking up at me with those big dark eyes that I couldn't get out of my mind. I knelt, putting my head down until our faces were close, and then nuzzled her soft jaw with my nose. She ran her head down to the crook of my...
"You're amazing," she said, collapsing to the sand after I finally finished, panting from exertion. "I've never had a man who could get me off so many times without cumming. What's your secret?" I couldn't tell her, couldn't bring myself to even admit the reason to myself. "It's all in the mind," I sighed, settling with a half-truth. "You're pretty amazing yourself." I meant it of course, but not completely enough to deserve the look she gave me as she rolled over, her...
Every night after we returned to camp, Sam would run off to do whatever it was he did and I would eat whatever fruit there was nearby and then settle down for the night. I tried hard not to, but every night, as soon as I was lying on my back, of its own volition my crotch surged to life and I got harder than I'd ever been before. I would fight it for a few minutes, but finally give in and begin slowly stroking myself, trying to picture one of the women I'd bedded in the past rocking on...
It's the summer after graduation, and I've decided to treat a few friends to a celebratory cruise. Just me, the guys, and hopefully some hot babes stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean. But recently, the waves have gotten rougher, and the captain just warned us to stay in our cabins cause some sort of tropical storm is coming. Sounds like bullshit to me though. My pals decided to stay in the cabin, but it got too stuffy for my tastes, so I headed out for the deck. Once I got out there, I...
TeenMy boss was a pure ass. I was about fifteen minutes late getting in and he saw me. "What the hell are you doing, coming in late?" he practically yelled. I saw several heads popping up over the walls of cubicles wondering who had made the boss mad this time. "I'm fifteen minutes late, Dale," I said. "That's right and I've been looking all over for you. You need to be on a plane to Denver in less than two hours. The site is shut down until you get there." "That's not going to...
There are a hundred little spots along the Grand River where people go down to the river to fish, or the high school kids get together for their beer and bong bashes. A guy I worked with owns one of them that is usually frequented by the kids. He was out of town for the next few weeks on a job and since it was the middle of the week, I knew there wouldn't be any kids there. I knew he wouldn't mind if I camped there. "Sam, how would you like to camp out for real tonight?" I asked...
Day 17 - Wednesday, May 4, 2005 We spent the night in the B & B again and went over to the restaurant for an early breakfast. When we left, we took off in a southwesterly direction. By noon, any worries I'd had about Cassie being able to keep up were gone. I think she could have walked Sam and me both into the ground. The area we were hiking through in Vermont ranged from hilly to mountainous. We tried to keep to lower ground as much as possible and we still made good time. We managed...
Day 20 - Thursday, May 20, 1847 Sam and I woke up with Cassie between us. Somehow, during the night, Cassie had managed to get across Sam. Since we were awake first, we just laid there looking at each other and stroking what we could reach of each other. Finally, Cassie opened her eyes and smiled at both of us. "Good morning," she said. "Good morning, Cassie," I said. "Young lady, we need to get something straight. Sam is my wife and I sleep next to her." Cassie just grinned and...
Day 24 - Monday, May 24, 1847 Nothing was said about what happened last night when we got up this morning. I built a fire and the girls fixed breakfast. We had all of us ended up sleeping on top of mine and Sam's sleeping bags. I was in the middle and it sure felt nice to wake up between two naked girls. We got an early start, and it was only shortly after we had stopped for lunch, when we crossed a road. "This is probably the road between Newry and North Newry," I said. "If we turn...
My heart was soaring as I rode back to camp. The girls came running out when they saw me. "Did you do it?" Sam asked. I got down from Hawk and gave them both a big hug. Then, I showed them the certificate of deposit and the bag of gold coins. All three of us were laughing like idiots. "So, do you want to go on into town and get some lunch and maybe stay in a tavern tonight?" I asked. "Could we stay here tonight?" Sam asked. "I have an idea of what to do with the gold coins and I'd...
We got all the new stuff distributed on Homer and Jethro, then took off out of town. "Where's our next stop?" Cassie asked. "Probably Hartford, Connecticut," I said. "We're not going to push it, so it'll probably take us a week to get there." "That's okay," Sam said. I could tell that Hawk was feeling his oats this morning. He'd had a good rest and now he wanted to run. I waited until we were out of town the asked, "Mandy, would it be okay if we let Hawk run for a...
"You keep out of it, you little snot," the man said with venom. I guess that or the fact that the girl was being manhandled got to Sam as well. "You wouldn't know what to do with her if she gave herself to you," Sam told the man. "I'm sure your pecker is smaller than my little finger, so you wouldn't do her any good if you could figure out where to put it." A couple of men at another table started laughing, but the abuser and his cronies didn't think it was funny at all. The guy...
Sam and Cassie came back just before the auction started. It seemed Mr. Wilson had died and they were selling off everything he had. They started out selling furniture, then they started selling livestock. The last of the livestock to sell was the slaves. They auctioned off half a dozen young black men. I wished we could have bought all of them and released them, but there was just no way we could afford to do it. Finally, they brought the black father out on the stage. The auctioneer had...
Some time later, I managed to get Cassie off by ourselves. "Cassie, my love," I said. "I have asked Sam to marry me at the first town we come to that has a parson, and she accepted." I could see several emotions cross her pretty face. There had been happiness, maybe some doubt, some fear, then resignation. "When we come to the second town that has a parson, would you marry me as well?" I asked. Now there was only one emotion, Joy. We had been riding close together, side by side....
Even with the stop for Cassie and me to get married, we made twenty-four miles for the day. Mina actually let my wives help with supper. While we were eating, Delia came over and sat beside me. Sam was on the other side of me and Cassie had scooted over to let Delia sit beside me. "Hi," she said and then looked down shyly at her food. "Hi, yourself," I said. "Do you mind if I eat with you?" she asked. "I never mind when a pretty girl wants to eat with me," I said. "Do you think...
Delia was attentive, but she was also uncoordinated. I probably let her fire fifty shots before the wagons caught up with us and she didn't come within six inches of what she was shooting at from twenty feet away. When we were discussing the problem over dinner, Mina asked, "Could I try it?" "I don't see why not," I said. After we had eaten, I set up a target quite a ways away from camp and showed Mina how to aim. Her first shot was better than Delia's best attempt and by the time...
Day 100 - Sunday, August 8, 1847 We passed White Sulphur Springs, Virginia today, which in just a few years will become White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Even in this era it is a resort town, where rich people and politicians come to take the water and to relax from their "trying" lives. We replenished our food supplies, but didn't make any further use of the town's resources. It just didn't seem right for the white people in the group to be able to go into an ordinary for a meal,...
Day 107 - Sunday, August 15, 1847 The next three days were more of the same. The mules toiled pulling the wagon and we helped as much as possible. We were all getting very tired, so we decided to take a day off. We picked a great day for it. I awoke to birds singing and sun brightening the canvass of our wagon. The four of us were naked and we had kicked the covers off during the night. I was between Sam and Cassie, and when my eyes started to focus, I saw Delia watching me across...
Day 109 - Tuesday, August 17, 1847 We got on the road early, after another of Mina's wonderful breakfasts. We let Rawhide ride the horse Tommy had been riding and Tommy rode behind Mindy. I don't think he or Mindy either one minded that. The road was mostly down hill today and we made a lot better time than we had in a while. I think we probably made close to seventeen miles for the day. M & M rode on either side of Rawhide for most of the day. Every once in a while, I'd hear Sam...
Kate proved herself to be an excellent trail cook when she made dinner for all of us that evening. She made an Irish Stew that was delicious. "Where are you from, Kate?" I asked as we were partaking of her stew. "I'm from Pennsylvania. We had a farm there. We'd had a couple of bad years before pa left to go trapping and we were also having problems with one of our neighbors. He and pa had a real feud going." "What happened with your neighbor after your pa left?" "He was quiet for...
Cassie wanted to take a walk later that afternoon, but Sam and Delia said they wanted to help Maddy with supper. We started walking toward the corral and Cassie put her arm around me as we walked. I returned the favor and gave her a little squeeze. "Did the excitement earlier get you all fired up?" I asked her. "Yep. Why does something like that get my juices flowing? Am I some kind of pervert or something?" I had to laugh. "No, sweet love, I think what it is, is that our bodies...
Day 127 - Saturday, September 4, 1847 When we took off on our first circuit this morning, Kate asked if she could ride with Sam and me. "What about Stu?" I asked. "Angie is going to ride with Stu and I don't like her mouth. I still want to do my part though." "Do you think Angie and Stu have a thing going?" Sam asked. "I think they do. Not that I'm jealous or anything. I just don't like to be called a floozy or a bitch." Sam and I laughed. "I don't think I would either,"...
Monday, February 21, 1848 One of the things we had gotten for Christmas was a bed that was big enough for all five of us. I don't know what time it was when Sam awakened me, but it was early, or late if you want to look at it that way. Sam shook my shoulder and when I started to wake up, she said, "Ed, I think I'm going into labor." "Oh, shit," I said. I was immediately awake. "It's a little too late to be saying, oh shit," Sam said. I couldn't tell if she was angry or teasing....
Sam: Preparing for the trip to St Joseph I awoke snuggled up to Delia again. I guess I must be related to a puppy as I really enjoy cuddling. When Becky awoke and started making her needs known, I held her to me and fed her a nipple. I'll swear it felt like the love was flowing out of my body and into hers. Feeding our little one was one of the greatest feelings I have ever had. At breakfast, Andy said they were going into town to pick up four wagons. I reminded him to check with the wagon...
Sunday, March 19, 1848 Ed: Day 24 of the Dayton to Boston trip It seemed almost sinful to sleep late, then wander down for a leisurely breakfast. We didn't let that bother us, though. Kate had never been to Boston and she had never seen the ocean, so we decided to do a little exploring. We wandered around the city for a while. Since it was Sunday, all of the stores were closed, but there wasn't anything we wanted to buy anyway. I had always been fascinated by sailing ships, so I asked...
Monday, March 27, 1848 Ed: Day 8 of the Boston to St Joseph trip We made over thirty miles today through relatively level country. We could see hills on either side of us, off in the distance, but none of them intruded on our route. We managed to ride close enough today to keep up a conversation. Ted is an interesting guy. He lived on a ranch all of his life, until his parents died a couple of years ago. Since then he has worked on building a railroad and he trapped one winter in...
Monday, April 3, 1848 Ed: Day 15 of the Boston to St Joseph trip The area we were traveling through had some hills, but the traveling was easy. It was also easy for us to talk. "Ed, how did you end up with four wives, with one of them being a black woman?" Tina asked. "Cassie looked at me and asked, "Can I tell it, Ed?" "Go ahead, love." "Ed and Sam were together first. They were just traveling around, exploring the country. I had been having trouble with my father's second...
The man dismounted and started looking at the hoof of one of the mules pulling the wagon. We walked over to where we could hear him mumbling about dad blamed mules anyway. "Howdy," I said as we walked up. "I'm Ed Hill. Are you having problems?" "Howdy, I'm Mort Stern. Yeah, this dad blamed mule has messed up his right front leg. I don't know what happened, but I'm afraid he's gonna have to be put out to pasture for a while." "That's a shame. They probably have mules here you...
Sam: St Joseph, Missouri Andy, Rawhide, and Stu took off again this morning looking for livestock. I really wish Andy had been here, because not long after they left, a guy stopped by and asked if we were forming up a wagon train. He introduced himself as Mark Lester. "Well, Mr. Lester, we're looking to either start one or join one. We won't be able to leave for a couple of weeks yet though." "There's really no hurry in getting started. You could wait a month and still get through...
Sunday, April 16, 1848 Ed: Day 28 of the Boston to St Joseph trip Wow! What a day! It started off innocently enough, but before noon, Cassie and I were shaken to our roots. Su Li and Tina pushed Cassie and Kate aside this morning and fixed breakfast for us. I'll have to admit, they are both good cooks. We got a nice early start and were making good time when it happened. I was riding, thirty feet or so in the lead, when four people stepped out into a clearing a hundred yards or so in...
Friday, April 28, 1848 Ed: Day 40 of the Boston to St Joseph trip When rolled out of bed this morning, Cassie, Kate and I were as happy as we'd ever been. Today was the day we'd be back with our family and friends. While the women fixed breakfast, I worked with Billy, Jeb and Zeb to get a semi-permanent camp set up. We went through everything and made sure they'd have everything they needed until we could get back to them. Even with leaving Billy's group behind, we were still going to...
The wagons were roughly surrounding a central, open, area. Mark rounded up all of the people who were going with us and herded them into the open area. When everyone was there he and Jim Crockett climbed up on a freight wagon and he started talking. "I'm Mark Lester and this is Jim Crockett. I am the Wagon Master of this wagon train and the guide who will get you to where you want to go. I think I've met about all of you at one time or another," he said as he looked around the...
Prudence and Clell showed up right after supper again. We had done the shuffle on the wagons when we circled up, so I knew she didn't want to complain about the Jamisons again. "Mr. Hill, after the Jamison kids finally quieted down last night, Clell and I thought we were gonna get some sleep. It wasn't to be though." "What disturbed you, Mrs. Hankins?" "It was them Jefferson people. Mr. Hill, we could actually hear them fornicating in their wagon. That woman is too old to have...
It was just after supper when I saw Sally go over and whisper something to Andy. He whispered back to her and she came back over by Sam and me and said quietly, "I was telling Andy I was going out into the bushes soon. He is going over to find Harter." "Okay, I said. "You might need to do this several times before we catch him following you." "Yeah, I know, but it seems like I feel him there every time I go out. Maybe we'll get lucky and catch him the first time." She waited a few...
Sam: Ed and I held on to each other until I saw the jury coming back. "They're coming back already," I whispered. Ed hugged me tightly, then went back over to where he had been sitting. When the jury was seated again, he asked, "Have you gentlemen reached a decision?" "Yes, we have, Ed," Jacob Caldwell said. "We all think the bastard is guilty." "Do you all agree with that?" Ed asked. Every man on the jury nodded his head. I could see Ed let out a big sigh, then he said,...
