And good!
A pulp western feel with JPB sex flair. A welcome twist from the usual formulas.
Well done.
It wasn't perfect but it wasn't the usual JPB fair and had some unresolved issues however it was good so yeah, four stars.
A lot of my favorite authors posting at once.
Interesting take on an earlier time. Dialogue was good.
Quibble: Jeans were invented by Levi in 1873. And 'good women' didn't wear pants so much back then.
Still, nice to see you spread your wings some.
A good story as usual from JUSTPLAINBOB.
After Seths body is brought back to the farmhouse on the mule the story line gets confusing where it states----" I took Garys horse and pack mule down to the barn"----
Who is Gary?
Different type of tale than I'm used to reading but great nonetheless.
This is JPB in his best...A very good way to begin the stories from Legends about the wild west...4*
I was also wondering who was Gary?
It may have been too kinky for the times (maybe not?) but I expected Emma to join them!
...the narrator! Only you didn’t hear from him much because this story was told very well from the hero’s point of view, which left poor Gary with naught to do but watch. But he did have a horse that needed some care, and it was very gentlemanly of our hero to take a moment to do that for him. And if you believe a word of this, there’s some swampland for sale.... :-)
Thanks for the story.
Fun, and actually a different sort than the norm here. That is rare. Thanks for the work and the creativity.
Some people just like to bitch. I wonder how many people actually have only one mistake in a story? Or even write a story? Go read the cuck stories if you don't like good ones.
there are actually some very good stories posted today (slapping head on side of head to make sure I'm awake) compared to the rash of garbage that usually meets my first glance at LW. Good one. Four Stars.
It had the violence and uncertainty of the old west along with some willing ladies. Nicely done.
It's been awhile since I've read a western story. You're story held my interest and as always with your stories I enjoyed it.
That's my Xmas List after reading this sagebrush stunner along with unmarried variant of Amy Adams in LBD on my doorstep (item no. 5.). Oops there is one more quite obvious thing ...6) a sequel to this fab story where narrator searches for his son.
Full marks. *****
But Gary appearing at the end was like a cold douche of water. I wonder if Denver would have kept him alive longer; those women sounded ferocious to me.
Thank you, JPB, for some likeable characters to go with a good story. I really enjoyed this one, and gave it 5 stars.
Husband up and ditched her for war without a care to her well being. then gets shot when husband returns. granted he found her on another man's cock, so she kind of had it coming. 4*
Martha was an interesting character. This story could be a movie. Well done.
Haha... Bob can't help himself.
I was away on a business trip (of some sort) and when I got home there was a strange horse hitched to my post... or something like that...
Don't cotton to tales of traitors and it sounds like our current 'fake president" in defending the glory of slave traders.
Very good story.
To the moron that posted -Don't cotton ...
We have a real president now so you must have been talking about the last fake president that was a racist and a crook and I hope he gets indicted for his role in the Uranium One sellout. It is funny how democrats want to remove the statues of dead democrats. The US civil war was not about slavery as the main cause. Only rich democrats still owned slaves by that time and it was truly evil. By the time of the civil war most of the planet had outlawed slavery that ALL races practiced including blacks and our founding fathers. Only big thing our founding fathers screwed up on is not outlawing slavery then. You are brain washed or simply stupid.
Last, I will remind you that it was Republicans that freed the slaves.
TODAY'S Republicans and Democrats have nothing in common with those in the mid-19th century except for the names.
And viewers of Faux News don't know that Uranium One is "Fake News!"
He will die of exhaustion with those two birds.
Good story.
Good period piece with excellent local descriptions and characters.
Nice flash read.
A Hondo rewrite with an erotica twist!
Louis L'Amour rollin' in his grave....Ha!
A Treat
but a real good tale, moved right along.
In all seriousness, for Bob to manage to give a fuck about a PROUD Confederate... now, that's the sign of gifted writer.
Good story. Even though I didn't give a damn about its lead.
You told me that Westerns were outside your zone. I can't tell that by the writing. You did just as well as I knew you would. You are a writer, and it doesn't matter what sort of story it is, talent trumps everything else, and you have that in spade. Thank you for doing this, and it's top-of-the-line. Randi.
One of JPB's best stories. He gets two women for doing a good deed.
Boyd Percy
Nice tale of the old west ... i just love a cuckold free zone. Our hero was honest ... honerable and dished it out to the bad guys ... what more can we ask for beyond the reward of of two lovely ladies??
Women didn't wear "jeans" in the 1800's as they had yet to be invented and the victorian era was a bit strict on the dress code of women (thus suffrage). Men wore the "pants" in the day.
Rosters don't crow. Roosters on the other hand make a hell of a racket when they get the mind.
You wonder why they call me...
Smokepole
Um... you smoke poles? Is that a euphemism for giving men oral sex? What the imagination could come up with!
Great story, JPB. I guess some people, between a good pole smoking, have nothing better to do than nit-pick. I thought it was well written and very entertaining. I didn't know you could write like this. Impressive.
Nice story, pretty different from the JPB usual mode. No dividing the bank account after finding the wife in the sack with another man. She seemed pretty bitter- surely she’d know that the war wasn’t just for 6 months and that men couldn’t just leave anytime they wanted? Seems to me a failure to communicate.
Two things I'll comment about:
1) I see you talked about the soldier that "fought for his state." Glad to hear you express that. Confederates didn't fight the northern invaders that Lincoln sent to keep slavery. They fought for their state, and to keep their rights.
2) Even you did have a couple of word mistakes, (e.g. "roster" instead of "rooster"), I thought you handled the dialect well.
Yes, different from a usual JPB story, but well handled. Probably many of the soldiers that were away fighting Lincoln's war came home to just the situation that you described, where the wife had abandoned hopes of husbands return and took another man. 5 *'s and FS status
The comments by the supporters of the traitorous southern states are hilarious. Still hoping for a day when the traitors will rise again and bring back slavery. Haha! Such tools!
what your loving readers will say. I liked the story, very good read. Some of these idiots need to get a real life..... Thanks for sharing.
It has been a while since I read a story this good on Literotica.com.
That is one of your best. I like the frontier justice. I've been a long time fan, but this is my first time leaving a comment. Thanks from a long time Colorado front range boy. Nobody makes me chuckle like JPB and JB44.*****
The Civil War was about slavery. Period.
The Southern States didn't declared independence over states rights; they did it over the rights of owning human beings.
Those are facts, supported by actual documents signed by the leaders of the Confederacy. Maybe some of the traitors - which is WHAT THEY WERE - were fighting for something else... but, whatever it was, it had nothing to do with why there was a war in the first place.
So anyone - ANYONE - claiming this conflict was over ANYTHING else... that person is just love to showcase his gleeful ignorance over his own history. Please stop with the sadass revisionist history, and look at the sins of your fathers for what they were: sins.
“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.” Abraham Lincoln. Letter to Horace Greely. 1862.
"this war is not waged on our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union." The Crittenden Resolution, passed by the House, and the Johnson Resolution, passed by the Senate. 1861.
Apparently, The President and both Houses of Congress were completely ignorant of what you know, that the "war was fought over slavery." According to their documents, produced by the people on the scene, the war was fought to "save the Union."
Thank God we have mightyhorny around to correct them. Whether or not you think it should have been fought is an entirely different question and has no bearing on this story, one way or another. Don't spout your shit if you don't know what you're talking about. Nothing worse than the dogmatically ignorant.
The south was getting too much power econominally and the union didn't want to recognize this. Slavery wasn't on the agenda with Lincoln until he wrote the emancipation proclamation in september of 1862. I agree that Lincoln wanted the south to stay with the union and his agenda was to keep the south from separating from the union. The civil war was not fought to end slavery. In history, the victors write the history books and do the revisionist theories. Lincoln would've been kinder to the south if booth didn't assassinate him.
Have read all of your stories. Enjoyed most all of them. Please keep sharing because i’ll keep reading13
The Civil War was fought because the slave owning South did not like the free North telling them how they should be. Slavery was not an issue except to freed/escaped slaves and abolitionist whites. Look at our history. Before any territory could come into the Union, it had to be matched by its opposite (slave or free) as the South knew if it became outnumbered by free states slavery would be abolished.
As far as the South being an economic powerhouse (lol), why did it need to acquire all the arms, ammunition and other necessities for making war from England and France. In the story, he used a British made Enfield vice an American made one. The battle of Gettysburg was started because a Confederate force was looking for footwear to reshod its personnel because the South did not have the capability equip
its own personnel.
You all need to revisit your history lessons.

No where in the Bible does it say that it is a "sin" to own or keep slaves. Those who think otherwise, I dare you to quote chapter and verse. It in fact tells slaves to obey your masters. It tells masters to not abuse your slaves.
The War of Yankee Aggression was, in my opinion, a political action brought on by the population growth of the northern and western abolition states and their subsequent dominance in Congress. The growth of regional politics and the Federal government's absorption of more and more of the matters that were originally in the control of Local authorities were a primary concern, as was the economy. Many southern slave owners were racking their brains for ways, without financial ruin, to divest themselves of their slaves in whom most of their wealth was tied up. I am sure a fair compensation package would have been much cheaper than the cost of the war. The Dreaded Income Tax was imposed to fund it and the Draft was imposed to provide cannon fodder for it.
It was widely thought that since the individual states had volunteered to join the Union, they had the right to withdraw as well. It even said so in the documents that joined Texas to the Union a few years before. By the way. I always enjoy Bob's stories.
I like the way you write. I look forward to your stories. So much of what is posted these days is garbage. It is great to read a well written story for a change

The story is all Bob’s but the basis is the movie.
I loved it! When are you going to tell Zeb's story at Sawell's Landing? I know you'll do it proud!
Entertaining yarn. I wonder how long it will be before he gets mother and daughter pregnant? That should be interesting for a second chapter. Well played Bob.
Really enjoyed this one from Bob. Love it anytime Yankees get shot up. Great story.
You guys know that you've lost the war right?
Nice little story. The whole mother/daughter fantasy great. I could only get into the sex so much unfortunately because I couldn't help to think these people haven't showered for days if not weeks, and no fucking deodorant.
A little short sentence about how they all took baths would have helped sooooo much.
We lost the War, but you winners are losing the country. We probably won't live to see it, not that I would want to, but someday the Four Whores will be on Mt. Rushmore. They will look down on a dark, cold, ruin.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
5 star story, 1.1 star comments.
Also refreshing to me, is its set in a time where you can just settle your scores and maybe get away with it.
No 50/50 split, no alimony, no overbearing social structure set on raping a man when he's down.
Sure, lots of downside to the times, but now, most people are powerless.
Truly enjoyed the time period change. Hope you do more like that. I’d give it a 6 if I could.
I really like your ideas when it comes to storylines, but in my opinion you'd put more effort in quality than quantity. You have dozens of good stories here but lack the ability to develop tenson und charatcters. Bummer.
Again, A good one. Who knew JPB could do Western. Good old Texas Feb, making one good Yankee soldier after another.
Hey Bob,
Do you know what the penalty was in the US Army for rape? They branded a great big "R" in the center of their forehead and then let them walk home. Sherman only had to do it once or twice and the nonsense pretty well stopped. Can you imagine how much fun it would have been to be walking north, through Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia wearing Federal blue trousers and having an "R" burned into your forehead? By the way, based on diaries and stories in PA and Western MD, there were rapists in the Rebel army to. Unfortunately, that has been the reality of war, probably as long as humans have waged war on one another.
Damn, I thought I'd read all your stories (multiple times) Bob - then found this one. Thanks!
somewhere east of Omaha
It’s all fun and games now but wait until he has mother and daughter both knocked up at the same time. He’ll be plenty busy then. Good story Bob, thanks.
Gonna be too damn tired every morning to haul freight or take care of the farm. Horny as those two women are….I’m just saying.
Not hard to believe the story line, probably happened a lot back then. Even so, it's more fantasy than reality that the ma would share the man of the house with her daughter. A sequel would have both women carrying a new brood in their womb, and that would be quite interesting. Question is, who would he marry. Enjoyable short story.
I loved the relaxed pace of the story and the down to earth reaction of Emma to seeing him with Katie.
Great short one, Bob, thanks for sharing it.
5 stars. I like western stories.
Didn't like the Seth part, even if he deserved it, otherwise it was a very cute story.
