Dear journal: Today I had found an old trunk that I had long forgotten about. But somehow Black Hawk had found it and kept it. I sat down and opened it up. I looked inside of it. Then all of my memories from my past came back to me. A memory of my first birthday after I had started working for Mr. Tunstall.

I remember the horse that he gave me. For a birthday present. I named her Blue Then I found a book of stories by uncle Remus. The stories of Brer rabbit and brer fox and brer bear. These were stories that my mother would read to me when I was a child.

Then I remembering how I always use to outsmart Pat Garrett. I guess that I was a lot like brer rabbit back then. Because he was always outsmarting brer fox. And I was always outsmarting Pat Garrett.

I sat there for a long time lost in my thoughts and memories of the past the old west. Then Mac asks "Billy are you alright?" I tell him "yes Mac I am okay. I was just remembering my past the old west.

I even remember very well the day that Charley got sprayed by a skunk. Boy did it stink but Charley Bowdre never bothered anymore skunks after that.

I have my memories some of them good and some of them bad. But they are all of the past and the old west

This is Billy Bonney sighing off for now
