Chapter 8 Rory skirted around the edges, listening and looking through the tangles of branches and thin whips of saplings. Then he wound Sugar through the cottonwood and beech trees still thick with leaves. He followed the sounds of the shouting and humorless laughter until he saw the color of their shirts moving in the spaces between the leafy boughs and gray/brown trunks. He could smell them, the men. Their scent was like those sheep Daniel and Angel had shown him at Fort Hall. Sugar's hooves cracked branches, but the men were too loud to notice, nor did they note when one of their horses, loosely tied to a tree, whinnied to the mare. Rory guided Sugar through the growth, closer. -Life threatening injuries, violent confrontations with soldiers, many dangers to Rory and any child of his and Angela's from white intrusions and diseases Angela had dared to hope, even if it wasn't a conscious thought, that after the rough start of their lives together, she and Rory and their young son couldlive peacefully on the land they loved. They would simply live their lives. To be sure there would be life passages, births, weddings, even inevitable accidents. Neither Angela nor Rory are fearful people to say the least. But, in the eighteen fifties in the Oregon Territories and indeed throughout the continent the wars between the First Nations peoples and the whites were escalating. Angela and Rory must fight as a team against the odds.

In the afternoon a lone horseman galloped into the yard stirring up the dust. Cary Wilson came out of the shed where he was shoeing a horse. Others dropped their work to approach. An Indian, Cary observed. “Hello.” He put himself in front of the Indian. “We’re not hiring any scouts. If you want to refresh your horse and yourself, you’re welcome.” “Not looking for a job,” the stranger said. He led his horse past Cary, tied her to a post and peered through the dust. Cary held his hands up peacefully. “What are you looking for then?” “My wife.” Angel and Rory: Life Begins is the first sequel to Angel on the Great Medicine Trail.

We are living in a society that is highly technological and modernized. People scramble to obtain an education at some of the most highly accredited schools so that they can obtain prestigious, high paying jobs. Elaborate homes are purchased and the most expensive vehicles must sit in the driveways. All kinds of appliances set on the shelves of our homes, many of which, we don''t even have time to use because our lifestyles are so busy. Yet, this is the American Dream and everyone wishes to pursue it. As this deceiving picture of a successful life is depicted, another one protrudes in the very midst of it, distorting it immensely. Sickness and disease is on the rise. Divorce and neglecting to marry is on the rise too. Children rebel against their parents as never before and some parents abuse and batter their own children. We may ask ourselves, "What''s missing from this picture?" The answer is, we''re a nation that was built on the beliefs and principles of God but now has turned its back on Him. The Ten Commandments, which was written for the precise purpose of allowing us to understand the will of God for our lives, so that we could walk in His ways and consequently be protected and blessed, are not allowed to be displayed in public places. Children are no longer allowed to pray in school and we wonder why they are so defiant and undisciplined. Teenage pregnancy is at an all time high. Gang activities and drug addiction are astronomical. Surely, God is trying to tell us something - WE NEED HIM IN OUR LIVES!!! As you journey through, Unshackeled, take a circumspective look at your life. Be Blessed!!!
