Hold Up at Cottonwood Pass in Colorado Frontier Tale
In early Colorado mining days, eastern miner Robert Gilaon and Buck Hayden witness a stagecoach holdup near Cottonwood. The express box is seized, a young woman named Mrs. Deane and an elderly companion survive, while the pair head toward the rough mining camp with stormy wind and a looming question of Mrs. Deane's connection to the incident. The narrator lingers on the vista and his growing feelings as the caravan descends toward adventure.
