Thanks, Brother! (by mamse5)

This short story gives you a feel for Adam’s perspective: “Somehow, only God knows how, the kid manages to lift me. I’m not as big as my brother Hoss, but I’m no lightweight either. Yet Joe gets me up into his arms, and as he starts to run back towards camp, he even manages to get off a shot or two. The Indians answer with shots of their own, but still my brother runs.”
