The path of the flames, as was discovered by the caravans that passed over the Trail a few days afterward, was marked with the crisp and blackened carcasses of wolves, coyotes, turkeys, grouse, and every variety of small birds indigenous to the region. Indeed, it seemed as if no living thing it had met escaped its fury.
He wanted the boy to feel free to do as he thought best. "You were in that fight at Sterling," said Waring, gesturing toward the south. "But that was different," said Lorry.
