The Saga Of Harlan Waugh (The Mountain Men) - Plot & Excerpts
For the previous month, the family had prepared for this day, and now that everything was in order, they were on the move. A pack string of ten horses and ten heavily loaded mules was strung out behind Harlan, carrying the family’s goods and stores. At the end of the string of livestock rode the ever-alert Big Eagle. Riding alongside the string were Winter Hawk on one side and Runs Fast on the other. The two women and baby rode directly behind Harlan for the protection he could offer in the event of an attack. Harlan grinned widely as he surveyed the scene. They had had a good trapping season and now had more than enough goods for trade for another year in the wilderness.My family has grown to a total of four men, and woe to anyone tackling this pack string with ill intentions, he thought. His eyes scanned the two happy women as they rode behind their dad and husband. Both were armed with pistols and their own knives, and, though one cradled a baby, they were ready for the day.Traveling northwest into the magnificent Absaroka Range, Harlan’s group came into daily contact with herds of buffalo, the grand moose, elk by the score, and the dainty mule deer at every turn in the trail.
