“I had witnessed
Earl Lasher's outbursts many times and tolerated them. That is, until I
witnessed him kill a whiskey drummer in Ogallala.
That’s where I watched as he rode off without me for the first time I can
remember. His speed with a gun followed him to every town he visited. So did
the killings.
Five years later we would meet again in Rock Bluff, Nebraska. I did not cherish that thought. I
had no choice. This would be the hardest thing I’ve done in my life.” Calvin
