This weeks chapter has been submitted to the mods and should be available soon.
My thanks to eagle eyed CoullPert and REP for continuing to report those damn possessive non-possessive apostrophes and the misspelling respectively!
A word about the safety and security concerns of the wagon used to haul prisoners expressed by more than a few readers. It's the 1850's folks! Prisoners rights are the last thing on the minds of Deputies who just want to arrive in Santa Fe alive. Releasing a single prisoner so he can go to the bathroom? Ain't happening! They all go at the same time when the Deputies stop. Can't hold it? Tough!
With that said, were there other 'more humane' ways to approach the transport wagons and increase safety? Sure! I just didn't think of them at the time - I was trying to stay true to the times and didn't really think about the issues raised n the comments and emails. That'll teach me to look at the details!
Keep those comments and emails coming.
Have a safe weekend and enjoy the great weather!
