The Bone Scraper

by Zachary Craig Hanson

After escaping from the gold town of Atlanta, Jesse and his partner, Dutch Em, have endured a harsh winter, camping alone along the Snake River Plain. As they push toward their destination of Silver City to continue on their righteous path of retribution, they are met by the famed Bannock Indian, Bigfoot. This chance and violent encounter reaffirms their purpose, giving them the willpower to push through to their new town.

Once in the famed city, mine wars, road agents, and nefarious characters abound. Finding jobs with the local cattleman and dance hall, Jesse and Em start to suss out who the bad actors are. Emboldened by the signs they receive from God, they formulate a plan and weave a web to capture and dispatch the men who seek to do harm to innocent lives—but it won’t be easy.
