Life on the Rockie ((OLM and chainedkitten11))

[OverlordMatt]

Richard Crowe stowed his luggage on the overhead racks and sat next to his new wife. He'd only known the woman for a shirt time; but she looked good, and was more than willing to marry him and move with him back to the frontier. Two years ago the fortune he'd amassed had dragged him back to the East. Those two years and his fortune had been spent on fruitless investments, cheap freak shows, and illegal poker games. Now, with his assets liquidated, affairs in a semblance of order, and a young new wife he had decided to go back to what he was best at; trapping in the frontier. After the ceremony his new wife had pestered him to leave as soon as possible. The huge man had shipped most of his belongings to their new home and had the rest packed above their heads. In contrast to his days dressed in furs and moccasins he was dressed in a black vest, white shirt and loose fitting trousers finished off with a pair of boots and a black hat. A new Colt revolver poker reassuringly into his side as the steel horse trundled into motion.
