Chloe's POV: I'll never forget it having to leave my home state of Vermont luckily my brother Richard or Dick as everyone called him was coming with me my name is Chloe Brewer 12 years old my brother Dick is fifteen we're leaving Vermont to find work Dick and I are the oldest of four children our father died of small pox a year or so ago our two younger siblings have to stay behind and help mama and that they're too young to come with us we made our journey by steamship boat

Where are we heading Dick I asked my brother

We're heading to Lincoln County New Mexico there's always work there or so I'm told he replied in gruff Vermont accent

We finally arrived in Lincoln County it wasn't much really just a small town there were no pave roads there was only a couple buildings there was a saloon Sheriff's office with a jail a hotel and two general stores one read Murphy&Dolan Company and the other read Tunstall&Mcsween that's all there was we walked into the saloon to get something to eat and that's when we met him Mr.John Henry Tunstall I actually accidentally ran into him I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and ran right smack into Mr.Tunstall

Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to run into you Mr...... I apologized

Oh no I do beg your pardon Madam I'am terribly sorry for running into you my dear miss he said bowing his head down

Oh thank you really I should be the one who should apologize I'am truly sorry for running into you like that I wasn't watching where I was going I said

Nonsense my dear you have nothing to apologize for perhaps we shall visit some more John said

Oh thank you you're very kind I replied blushing I was blushing for he was just kindly old man

Are you alone madam? John asked snapping me out of my thoughts

"What? Oh no no no I'm here with my brother uh we're looking for work you see our papa died a year ago of small pox and we need money for the farm I said

I see where are you and your brother from May I ask? John asked curiously

Vermont sir Dick said coming up from behind me

Vermont you say well my dear boy you two are a long ways from home John said

Yes sir we sure are "we're looking for work do you know anybody hiring? Dick asked

It just so happens that I'am hiring cowhands to help guard my cattle you are welcome to join if you like John said

Great we'll take it Dick and I both said at the same time

Splendid then you can start tomorrow at dawn John said

And with that we had jobs we were the first Lincoln County Regulators soon there was going to be more of us but we were the first
