“This was a world unto itself that lay between the Canadian River and the Rio Grande as if it had been designated on the day that God made it as the place where men would come to fight and kill one another.

South Jeffco was seething with anger, and it would be deprived of a reasonable target. Displaced anger would riddle the community for years.”
