49-xx-xx ep08 The Chavez Family

From Tear Town, the saga of the roaring west. From Tear Town. El Paso, Cheyenne, Calgary, Tombstone. From Tear Town. Here is the adventurous story of the early west. The tamed and the untamed.

From the pakest to powder river, Dodge City to poker flat. These are the towns they fought to live in and lived to fight for. Teaming crucibles of pioneer freedom. From Tear Town. If you know anything about the frontier, maybe you know my hometown, Dos Rios.

Look over there. See that smoke rising just over the roof of that hay barn? Why, that's that widow lady's place. What's her name? Bessie Dryden? That sure is Bessie's place, Cherokee. Since this sounds like a pitched battle, maybe it's open to the public.

Come on! As we rounded the clump of aspens which shield Bessie's house on the road, we saw a sight which stopped us for a moment. Bessie was standing on her porch, a Winchester in her hands.
