Fiddling Jimmy Fares Through Desolate Dodge Era
In Dodge City a rail rider named Fiddling Jimmy Casenberry takes a job with the Southwestern Stage at Station No. 18. He fends off rustlers and Indians, plays the fiddle by the water hole, and endures a night captive to Crawling Wolf and his gang who demand more music until the dawn. The next day a mule carries a battered fiddle bow and Jimmy’s ruined instrument to town as word spreads that he has quit.
