Comment from Mr. Green
This chapter was great. I enjoyed the dialog and the interaction between the characters. This is the first chapter I have read, but I get the sense of a long journey, and this chapter has introduced me to characters and personalities that has me wanting to tag along. Nicely done.

Good to see you back, Earl. I like these separate scenes you painted and the way you made the dialogue show the different personalities and the underlying drama beneath them.
One suggestion:
"these buffoons jokes." (buffoons')

Wow! I took a look at your author notes and I see this write is part of a western saga. But it reads well enough as a stand alone piece. The characters are vividly portrayed and the dialogue is lively.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Earl. I was amused by the dialogue between Clancy and Smythe concerning the mules. The line that caused me to laugh unexpectedly was, "In case we gotta eat' em." That was quite a surprise. I was looking for a different answer. Robert

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Clancy loves to needle Smythe who doesn't seem to have a sense of humor at all. Angus wanted Doo to go along on the trip to watch over Roseanna, but he had to tell his son Richard to go along to watch Doo and Roseanna. It has been awhile but it is still a good story. You do need to post more often. I had forgotten all about this. LOL Nancy:)

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This sounds so backwoodsy and authentic. I like your characters' names. My favorite line was: "My brother couldn't find his way to water if he fell in a river." I appreciate the misspellings as part of the dialect, but I wanted to point out that the punctuation is not part of the dialect. So here is a run-on sentence:
"Doo Carter seems capable of watching over her, why must I trek into the wilderness amongst the wild beasts and savages, HE WANTS To Go."
I would try it this way:
"Doo Carter seems capable of watching over her. Why must I trek into the wilderness amongst the wild beasts and savages, when he WANTS to go?"
But you have a lot of great material here that is working fine.

This story captures both the time, location, and the language quite authentically. As the reader, I felt I was transported into the moment with well-thought out dialogue and grammar that had a certain flow to it. Very well done

This is well penned as usual. These folks sure do love their cider LOL! I found it both entertaining and engaging and I don't typically care much for westerns. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Sally Law
Oh, this is a fine chapter, Earl. You know I love the story of Doo and the Shawnees. A delight to read, especially out loud. No kiss yet between Doo and Miss McAllister, but I remain hopeful.
A few items for polishing.
" . . . I've ever seen."
"Smythe's expedition." Misspelling of Smythe.
"Humph, we'll see about that." Typo.
Sending you my best today as always, dear Earl.
Sally :)

Comment from Darlene Franklin
I haven't read the previous chapters, but I was immediately drawn when I saw the setting was Kentucky. You are writing similar to the one I wanted to write about my family, when the early settlers crossed over the Gap into the Kain-tuck, I think it was called. So I'll be looking for more. Interesting characters, good use of the setting as a character as well.
