The Indifference Of Tumbleweed (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The fort is well built, with tall poles making a stout palisade. Great rivers on all sides lead to good pasture, and our beasts have been well fed and rested. Two letters awaited us from Reuben, who was well at the time of writing and learning the skills of soldiering. He had seen no action in battle when he wrote. We have eaten salmon fish, prepared by the islanders in a delicious fashion. Fanny declares that it is food from heaven. Mr Tennant is unwell. A large rock crushed his foot, three days since, and it has turned black and pains him enormously. This has been the second severe accident in our party, and we are all greatly concerned for him, since the child Susanna Fields is expected to expire at any moment. These calamities have knocked our confidence to withstand severe injuries. It is fortunate that we are at a fort, where there are medicines and a doctor, who has been working with Indians until recently. The warm weather has deserted us, and there have been clouds overhead for some days now, with light rain at times.
