We must be pretty close because we are only on the trail for about a half hour when we start hearing the sound of gunfire. I don’t have to tell the horse to speed up, he just does it. It only takes a couple of minutes to get to where the wagon train is being attacked. I can tell by the hoof prints in the dust that the horses being ridden by the attackers are shod and most Indians only ride unshod horses. I am only hearing a couple of guns shooting back at the attackers which is a little confusing.
As I am getting close, the attackers are starting to break through the defenses to get at the families in those wagons. The horse kicks it up a notch and heads for the attacker closest to getting at the wagons. I have my rifle out and it is no chore at all to hold onto this horse with my knees. I fire and the attacker is knocked off of his horse. I fire again and another attacker is out of this fight. I feel the whip of a bullet close to my side and look to see that bullet came from what appears to be the leaders of this wagon train.
