"Most folks would have shot him on sight had they knowed who he was," some oldtimers declared. Huett Whitmore was that kind of badman. Just saying he was clever with a gun and quick to anger put the fear of the lord into most men's breasts. But they were wrong. Yes, it's true; by the time he'd put away his guns for good the tally was close to fifty; all of them dropped by one of his .36 Navies, or the several Colt's that spit .45 slugs he was known to favor in later years. But the truth is, he never picked a fight; never turned away from one, and every man who died facing him; who'd thought they were quicker; even the back shooters; most of them friends of others who had tried, never got the chance to brag they had faced the most notoriest gunfighter the west had ever produced. Fact is, few men who actually faced Huett knew who he was, given he'd changed his identity so often and was usually accompanied by his wife and her brother who had become his shadows during the early years. Fact is it was Mattie who had set the fates against their marriage when she had taken it into her head to protct her man by blasting the life out of a gunhawk from Oklahoma who had come looking for him; blew him clean out of the saddle with her pet 10-gauge when the fool had tried to draw down on her. That was the end of their life together and the beginning of his as a loner and a man with an unspeakable past. He had to run then just to keep the bounty hunters away from Mattie and their two babes; just to keep them hot on his trail until he could arrange to disappear forever. But his story didn't end there. Fact is, it had just begun.
