Hold Up on the Cottonwood Road Camp
In Colorado in the early seventies Robert Gilson and Buck Hayden witness a stage coach holdup. The bandits flee with the express box as a Denver waiter trades rumors on gold claims, new hotels, and a sharp stake in a rugged mining camp led by Huffaker. The tale shifts to tension around Mrs. Barnaby and a secret song haunting the narrator.
