Seeking Zeke

By Kenn Dahll

San Francisco in 1862 was bigger, noisier, and dirtier than anything I had experienced in my nineteen years on God’s green earth. Fortunately I had some money. To be rid of me after the scandal involving brutality and forced sodomy with Jonas, a neighbor boy, became public Pa paid my fare on Wells Fargo. Without telling Pa, Ma gave me some of her pin money. My fare became unnecessary after the first couple of days. The guard who rode shotgun on the front of the stagecoach was shot through the heart by an arrow from an unfriendly tribe. I’d been hunting since I could hold a gun. I was coerced into taking the position for the rest of the trip and my fare was refunded. I was given a free bed at the way station each night as well as meals; and I was paid for the work. The job with its benefits kept me further removed from Jonas, who was also ostracized and heading west with me. I left the stagecoach during the last night before we were to reach our destination, arriving in the city a day and a half later.
