A VIOLENT MAN WHOSE TENACIOUS AND CUNNING WAYS OF LIVING SUSTAINED HIM THROUGH YEARS OF DANGER IS COMPELLED TO TEACH THE SAME LETHAL SKILLS TO HIS MUTE SON.
WHAT MAKES THIS STORY SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WESTERN ADVENTURES?
The adventure rides on realism and.....new-fashioned action. There have always been great entertaining western stories that reveled wonderful characters with fast draws and magnetic personalities. The son, Sam is a mute so it’s natural that his senses of sight and touch are more acute. What better assets are there for handling weapons? Another one of Sam's natural assets is he understands the bodies tell tale signs of other people. Also his father establishes violent abilities in Sam that he will never forget. Little known, odd historical moments are woven throughout this tale to keep believability primary.
Meanness was always around when the father and son were growing up. The two are handsome and confident. Their lips seem a little wide but that is caused by their constant slight smile. When those smiles disappear hints of danger are around. Brad said. "There are lots of bullies in the west Sam. They really don’t have backbone, but when they get a gun in their hand they think they have one." Sam’s eyes are filled with concentration. Brad continues, "Usually that’s when killing starts." The young man gave his firm understanding nod and his smile is not seen.
THE FATHER
Brad Jamestown and his parents move to the heinous city of New York on June 20th, 1844. Brad's life changes in a flash when his parents are murdered. Brad becomes a ragamuffin on the streets of the city. The crushing need to find the murderer of his parents, the dastardly actions of hoodlums and the everyday appalling behavior of the citizens grooms Brad’s hatred and develops his street gutter heart. Being new to the streets and young, the abuse and painful street beatings he receives creates his fanatical desire to know how to street fight.
Taken in by two tough, but decent men, Jason and Mr. Von who own a dangerous saloon recover some of Brad's positive attitude. They know he must be taken back to self control. Learning to fight bullies and killers with Jason's unusual and effective methods of street fighting is the first benefit that strengthens Brad's security. Yet, Jason tells Brad, “If you’re going to fight every jackass you meet, be prepared to fight every day for the rest of your life.” Mr. Von is a German giant of a man who isn’t afraid to voice his opinions. “If politickin people lie, a pine tree should grow out their ass.”
Sudden deaths force Brad to leave the saloon and the embers of hate flare again. He goes to work for, Mr. Raymond, the publisher of the newly formed New York Daily Times. Raymond admires
'As Brad walks by an open door he hears the voice of a little girl.
"Am I going to die?”
A soft spoken nurse speaks. “No child.”
Brad hears the child’s strained voice again, “No one's with me. If they bury me will you make sure I’m dead?” The nurse has difficulty speaking and leaves the room. Brad’s eyes harden with concern as if he couldn't believe what he just heard. He slowly walks to the child’s bedside.
The little girl with seeping sores on her face and arms opens her tired eyes and smiles slightly. “Are you my doctor?”
Brad says, “I’m your new friend. I’m going to stay with you.” The child has a tiny twinkle in her eyes and then her lids close. Brad sits on a small chair by her bed. The heavy antiseptic smell doesn't distract him; it’s as if he's guarding a Princess. Death has lurked long enough; there is only stillness in the tiny child. Brad pulls the tattered blanket over the girl's face, leaves the hospital, walks down the busy street and into a rubbish filled alley. He places his strong hands against a cold brick wall and he weeps. This tough young man that beat the hell out of three thugs just before he arrived at the hospital, who survived a living hell alone in the streets of New York; remembering the deaths of his parents and friends weeps for this child that he would not let die alone.'
John, a reporter with a quick wit at the Times becomes one of Brad’s mentors. He teaches Brad not to be bamboozled with false interviews. John gives him an example of a young man who convinced the New York Sun to publish an article stating some immigrants were brought into America from Europe by balloon. The man who accomplished the hoax was, Edgar Allan Poe. John encourages Brad to patronize ritzy restaurants where there is gaiety and laughter, to rub elbows with the influential and rich. One night Brad's visit to a splendid restaurant with it's sparkling chandeliers, starts a female relationship. The young lady is a very attractive prostitute with class.
At this first meeting Kathleen asks Brad, “What’s your nationality?”
Brad responds with a smile and pride, “I’m, Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh.”
The lady replies, “You must argue with yourself a lot.” Later she enjoys taking his virginity." Kathleen becomes his iron rose. Several months later Brad goes to socialize at a fancy restaurant and he sees a mugging taking place on the street. With Jason's brutal fighting methods Brad violently breaks the arm and wrist of the now screaming hoodlum and saves the life of, Samuel Colt; the famous weapons manufacturer. They become friends instantly and Samuel talks Brad into going to work for him in Connecticut.
A few years pass and at the age of twenty one Brad travels west by way of the perilous Oregon Trail. During this dangerous journey while working for the wagon master he is tested by reckless men and difficult problems. He meets his true love; with an opposite personality. It’s a strange romance because of cholera. Brad constantly cleans Ann’s complete body of her foul waste; she is close to dying.
'Ann comes in and out of delirium. She has part of her senses for brief moments. With the death of her father, her illness, and the constant embarrassing cleaning of the waste from her body by Brad, she is losing her will to live. She struggles to say. “ Brad. I want…death. Please leave me.”
Brad takes her hand and firmly says. “Look at my eyes.” Ann struggles to concentrate and Brad says, “Do you see love?”
Ann nods slowly, 'Yes.'
"If you leave me...that love will live alone.” The showing of his love puts a spark in Ann's will to live.'
Wayne is second in command of the wagon train. Today he slowly rides by Ann’s wagon. Years of crossing the plains have given him a body that might have come out of a cracked boulder. He's a tough son of a bitch; the more he fights the more he wants to fight. He says to Brad, “How’s our little nurse today.” The strain on Brad has been exhausting and now he gets this pile of dung. He dives at Wayne and knocks him off his horse.
Bill the wagon master shoots his powerful weapon in the air. “I knew it would come to this.” With his commanding voice he yells, “Get the hell away from the wagons. Ya got the whole damn prairie to beat on each other.” The fight is ruthless on the wide open plains. Wayne holds up his hands for Brad to stop. He opens his mouth and spits out enough blood to fill a whiskey shot glass along with a tooth; all think the fight is over. Wayne smiles and waves Brad on. Dirt and grass fly into the air as the two fight for conquest.'
THE SON
Brad and Ann are married and settle in San Fernando, California. Brad opens the Colt Weapons Emporium and Ann gives birth to a healthy baby boy who was late coming out of the chute. They name him after Sam Colt. At the age of two Sam develops an extensive Whooping Cough illness; it can cause permanent disability and even death. After two months of constant Whooping Cough, vomiting, and choking the destruction of Sam's vocal cords take away his ability to speak. As Sam grows older his character is toughened because young townsfolk consider Sam to be stupid or cursed by God. Unhappy events manipulate the mind of Sam and create the same dangerous level of anger that his father had in New York City.
'At the age of thirteen, Sam comes home from school where older boys beat the hell out of him.
The next morning Brad straps on his guns.
Ann asks with a rigid but fearful voice, “What are you doing ?”
Brad motions to his badly bruised son, “Like what you see?”
“No."
Brad continues, “Nobody will beat Sam again---at anything.”
When Brad speaks his son’s given name, Sam knows something of extreme importance is about to come his way. “Watch the white of a man’s eyes Samuel. If they widen he’s excited and is going to draw his weapon. If a person shows or says they're going to kill you, shoot the son of a bitch. Killing is not a fast draw contest.”
Mr. Bell and Brad rub each other the wrong way; hard. Bell gets his wealth by selling horses to the army. Any prisoner that is released or escapes from prison is given a job at the Bell ranch. Bell has three nasty sons and enjoys dominating tough ex-cons that will slit a man’s throat for talking too much. Bell can get away with his bullying because he always has two guards by his side. The ranch is a violent place and has an unusual wild hog pen. It's how Bell enjoys keeping fear in the minds of men. The wild hogs are kept half starved and they fight to stuff live eating in their guts. Bell always puts on a show for the unstable minds of the newly hired. The sadistic Bell tells the ex-cons, "Ya should ah seen the time a cheatin man was throwed in with his legs tied and heard the screaming." His stupid laugh would follow.
Sam does develop a love relationship and it creates trouble that can’t be avoided. As Sam continues to learn his fathers cunning, the ability to fight, and the handling of weapons; Brad’s wife says, “If you teach your son to handle a gun better than you, some day he’ll kill with it.”
Brad replies, “He won’t hesitate."
THE TALE LEAPS to a higher level of intensity. Death plunges into Sam's young life just as it did with his father.
'Sam holds his dieing mother in his arms. He forms his lips to try and say, 'I love you,' but he can't speak. His mother forces a smile and her eyes brighten a bit. She says, "You've always told me, you don't have to now."
Sam has love waiting for him but first one enormous task must come to an end; vengeance can't live in his mind forever. Obtain the novel and observe how a bloodline confronts life's evil killers. Sam must endure and overcome the continuous onslaught of vicious men.
