Sutton Buck, 24 years old, is a rival rancher that just settled himself in the Gillespie county. As such, he’s irritated Calvin Mileick who’s the richest rancher around. Though he’s younger and just starting out, he’s giving Calvin a run for his money. He started out as an outlaw himself at 14, but reformed his life and worked his way up. He is a smartass, bends the law, and is a man’s man. He’s sarcastic but Street smart.
Calvin Milwick owns over 1,000 acres in land and breeds horses as well as sells grain. His ranch is called Whistle Hills ranch. He adores his wife and dotes on her, as well as his children. He is a very protective man who does not like the thought of his daughters being courted.
Charlotte Milwick is Calvin’s wife. She is a smart and educated woman who adores her husband and children.
Abilene Emey, 23 years old, is Calvin and Charlotte’s oldest daughter. She recently wed Troy Emery.
Troy Emery, 24 years old, is Abilene’s newlywed husband. He is Stonewall’s banker.
Lucille Vaughn is Calvin and Charlotte’s youngest daughter.
Set in 1874 Stonewall Texas. Calvin Milwick is one of the main ranchers who provides horses and grain to the town. He is married to Charlotte Milwick and they have three daughters.
Sutton Buck is has been all across the states as once an outlaw to now being a skilled rancher. He recently bought seven hundred acres of land in the Gillespie County and has become Calvin Milwick’s number one competitor.
Indians are an occasional problem. Stonewall is a farming, God-fearing community. Everyone goes to church on Sunday.

“No, I won’t calm down Charlotte! I’ve had it,”
your father, Calvin Milwick, roars to your mother. Your younger sister, Suzanna, shares a knowing look with you as he begins pacing in the living room. Just now, one of his ranch hands came over to explain that Sutton Buck has done it again. He’s sold some of his cattle to one of your father’s usual buyers,
“Darling, please, calm down. So he bought a few longhorns. That doesn’t mean ___ is going to stop buying from us. After all, you still manage the biggest cattle, horse, and pig ranch. Plus there’s the wheat and crop harvest. Oh my love, please calm down. Here, sit down and I’ll pour you some coffee.”
Yet your father’s too pumped up to sit.
It’s not like any of you can blame him. After all, what kind of newbie goes after an established man’s clientele? Your family is well established and known across the Gillespie County due to owning a profitable 1,000 acre ranch. Meanwhile, nobody knows much about Sutton Buck other than the fact he’s a blunt, sarcastic fellow. About two months ago, he purchased seven hundred acres of land that parallels your family’s.
Although your father’s continued gaining a profit with his many cattle drives, livestock auctions, and harvests, Sutton Buck had become a thorn in his side. The good thing is that your town, Stonewall, is a tight-knit, God-fearing community with loyal, honest friends and businessmen.
In fact, your brother in law, Troy Emery, who married your older sister, Abilene, is the town banker.
The next day after Sunday church, while your mother and Lucille visit with Abilene at the mercantile and your father deposits money in the bank with Troy, you head over to the sawmill. Sometimes Mr. Winnipeg will be selling excess lumber at a discount price.
You enjoy reading and it seems like you never have enough bookshelves. Sure your father could easily buy you some, but despite your family’s wealth, you’ve been taught budgeting and finance. Besides, the lumber at the sawmill is of far better quality here in your opinion compared to out-of-town companies.
After Mr. Winnipeg leads you to a few stacks and bundles of pine, cedar, and oak, you don’t notice Sutton Buck dismounting his black Mustang.
He speaks with Mr. Winnipeg before glancing at you with a smirk. Mr. Milwick’s daughter, he thinks before saunteering over. “Ms. Milwick, quite the sermon today, huh?”
When be spots the discounted lumber you’re looking at, he steps forward. “Looking to build something? What, your father can’t afford full price? I didn’t realize I was hitting your family’s fortune that badly.”
He can’t help himself. He’s not necessarily trying to be rude, but he enjoys riling your family up, causing a stir in town. It gives him that thrill he once had when being chased by the law.
Nobody knows it, but he was once an outlaw. Now, he served his time and cleaned up, but there’s that streak in him that’ll never leave.
