. When I was just a toddler, way back during the great depression, my parents worked for an old rancher. In the living room of his log house a set of elk antlers were mounted on the wall as gun rack, along with the usual hunting rifles and shotguns was a well used battered brown leather holster with a .45 cal well used six shooter still holstered and pinned to that holster was a scarred dented brass star with the word deputy engraved on it. My dad once told me that gunfighters always put a notch in the handle of their gun when they killed a man. For a long time i went there everday to see if there was a notch. There never was.
Just this badge , holster and gun are the basis on which I use my imagination for some of my western stories.
