On the ride into the lush valley, Isaac Warner explained to Preacher how they had come to be abandoned in such an, as the pilgrim saw it, unforgiving land. When the perfidies of their guides and captain had been revealed, he concluded with a plaintive remark.

“So, we’re not sure where we are, or how to get where we were going.”

“Where might that be, Mr. Warner?”

“Why, the Northwest Territory, of course, to Oregon.”

Preacher sighed regretfully. “You’re about two hundred miles too far north for the Northwest Trace.”

Warner frowned. “What’s that?”

Preacher called on all his patience. “The trail you should have been on. The one folks are takin’ to callin’ the Oregon Trail.”

“We’re that far off?”

“Yep. And intentional, I’d judge. It’s an old game. Lead a party out into nowhere, rob them and leave them for the coyotes and buzzards. I’m surprised they didn’t take your livestock as well.”

Warner shrugged. “I suppose we were too many, too well armed. They snuck away in the dead of night.”

Preacher turned philosophical. “No accountin’ for some folks.” A moment later, the sheer volume of cheering, waving and hugging that greeted him left the mountain man utterly speechless.
