Overview: In the eerie silence, as tumbleweeds spun across the dusty streets of Tombstone, four men walked toward the O.K. Corral with murder in their hearts. Watching, by an aged and rotted fencepost, with a half-masticated caterpillar in her mouth, a chicken was there.
Inside the fortified walls of Fort Laramie, in the lawless heart of the vast and desolate prairie, George Donner leaned against a cracked, adobe wall contemplating the decision that would cost so many lives and ultimately, shock the nation. At his feet, pecking the moldy, discarded crumbs of the day-old piece of cornbread he carelessly clutched in his hand, a chicken was there.
As the train lurched and careened to a screeching halt, the muffled screams of passengers were drowned out by the sound of gunfire piercing the air. The infamous James Younger gang climbed aboard, their eyes hard and cold above the bandanas that covered their cruel faces. They entered the mail car, and in a crate by the side of the safe, a chicken was there.
