Shayne’s Reviews > Dead Man's Walk > Status Update

The battered group of men plus Matilda finally arrive at the village of Las Palomas—lacking in any younger people due to their kidnapping by the Apaches for the slave trade. The old people take in the Texan “prisoners” who remain to the church and provide the food and warmth they can.

The captive Texans set out on the dead man’s walk. Just when the incapacitated Johnny is about to take his own life, Gomez strikes and cases the camp.

The troop come across the Mexican general and his guards slaughtered by the Apaches. Cobb is still alive but has been stripped and blinded. Salazar convinces him to shoot himself but at the last minute he turns and shoots Salazar and Shadrach, the latter, fatally.

After Call is beaten within an inch of his life, the Mexicans and Texans set out to the village before the dead man’s walk.

Caleb Cobb surrenders the Rangers to the Mexican Army, which infuriates Call. He attacks Cobb as he rides off with the General, who orders 100 lashes for him.
