The Journey Of Josephine Cain (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
“Hand it up, Raleigh.” Raleigh handed Hudson a board for the roof of the general store, then immediately put his hands in his pockets, his shoulders up to his ears. “It’s freezing out here. Can’t we finish fixing the roof tomorrow?” “Sure we could, if it didn’t look like a storm was coming, and if you’re willing to shovel the snow off Mrs. Reed’s sacks of flour. Of course then she won’t have flour to make the cinnamon bread you take every chance to buy. If you’re willing to sacrifice your bread supply then—” “Fine, fine,” he said. “But hurry it up.” Gladly. Although Hudson wouldn’t complain about his current duty in Raleigh’s earshot, he resented having to rebuild and repair buildings that were only a few months old. Faster, faster was the mantra of everyone in the new town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and of everyone he’d met out west. The buildings were standing insults to every wind that blew through town. When the ground had grown too cold to lay track, the settlement had burgeoned from a few hundred to over four thousand people, waiting out the winter.
