Bravo Bravo to you Freyakendra and all those who had a hand in working on this magnificant piece of work. I am standing up and applauding. This was well orchrastrated and produced, it painted a whole eposide in my mind as I read it.
The pictures made it a piase de resistance and gave it that extra touch as in a finale. Each one was just perfect for the chapter especially the last two..
I reallly have enjoyed reading this story. Thank you all especially and you freyakendra for giving us such enjoyment.

Ooh! I read this before the “extended edition” and enjoyed it then, but this is even better than I remembered it! Whatever changes you made must really have improved the story! Can’t wait to read the rest of it!! 😀
Author’s Response:
Thank you! I’m anxious to get it all up so you can! 😉
I started reading it and realised I had already read it. I carried on and couldn’t put it down, just as good second time around. It is wonderful.
Wow! Strong!!! I Loved the way you described every scene! Fabulous!
this was the second time that I read this story. It is still as great as it was the first time I read it.
Rereading again – might be the third time. Love the story and your imagery. ‘The sound of Adam’s voice struck like an ax at the bottom of a rain barrel’. Great line!
Wow! I wrote that line? 😀 I’m glad you enjoy this one. Thank you!
Love this!! I remember reading this last year I think but I still enjoyed it! SJS stories are some of my favorites! Good job!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it enough to read again! 🙂
Amazing story! Loved the whole back story about young Adam and his friend. So glad that Ben and Adam listened to that little voice that said get home. Hoss being the wonderful person he is just goes along because his family is concerned and that makes him concerned
Thank you so much, JDD! 🙂 This story has a special place in my heart, because the original version (this shows a revision) was my very first Bonanza story! The idea had been bouncing around in my head for, literally, decades before I finally wrote it down! It felt so good to get it written — and still feels good to see people still reading it and commenting! 😀
Fabulous story ! Just love your writing , am now working my way through all of your works ???
Thank you, from one “Joe gal” to another! 😉
