Excerpt
“He’s riding hard. Something’s wrong,” Brandon murmured. He adjusted his seat, pressed his knees to his mount’s flanks and urged his horse down the hillside.
As soon as Diego pulled up on the reins in front of them, Brandon realized the man’s cotton pants and shirt were soaked through. “What is it?”
“A wagon is stuck in the river.”
“Anybody hurt?”
“An old man is caught up. His head is above water, but I don’t know how long he will last.”
Deleted Scene
Early June 1836
