Excerpt from Beneath a Dakota Cross by Stephen Bly:

The black Texas horse that Big River Frank rode was not more than fourteen-and-a-half hands, but it still seemed large next to the small frame of the rider. He had a thick bedroll tied on the cantle and a small sack of grain lashed in front of the fork of his saddle. A ’73 Winchester carbine bounced in front of the saddle horn. His narrow face sported a three-day beard and a thick mustache. Big River’s small brown eyes seemed locked in a permanent stare.

“You look like you’re goin’ on a trip,” Brazos Fortune challenged.

“Me! Look at you. Got your belongings in the wagon and the pride of Coryell County ridin’ beside you.” Big River tipped his black felt hat. “Mornin’, Miss Dacee June. You look as lovely as a river rose.”

Dacee June grinned. “Thank you, Mr. Big River Frank.”

Brazos slapped the reins and drove the buckboard east. “You didn’t answer my question. Where are you headed?”

Big River Frank trotted the black horse alongside the wagon. “Where are you goin’!” he challenged back.

“I don’t know. North … across the plains … out of Texas.”

“What a coincidence. That’s exactly where I’m goin’!” Big River beamed.
