Sound of Gunfire

by Frank Bonham

The miners were blasting the haylands into mud, the ranchers were ready to blast the miners out of the hills...and the Snake warriors were waiting on the ridgetops with blood-hungry lances. All that stood between the Oregon Territory and a three-way war was F. the sorriest, homesickest bunch of civilian-soldiers that ever ran from a fight. But Company F's rawhide-tough sergeant had a plan...He was going to teach them to run the other way!
