The Rainbow Trail Summary
|
' The Rainbow Trail |
|
|
| John Shefford studied for the ministry in Beaumont, Illinois, but traveled west to the Utah-Arizona border where the red desert valley between the jagged line of black mesa and yellow range included a wild canyon that held a troubling secret. Shefford's fiance, Fay Larkin, was imprisoned in this undiscovered canyon with two others who had fled harassment from the Mormons. The mystery of this place was hidden in an unnamed village of "sealed" wives. The road to the village was blocked by a formidable crew of murderous half-breeds whose punishment for trespassing was death. Shefford learned of this place from Venters, a man he knew in Beaumont, who had lived in that beautiful hidden valley whose location was unknown and the entrance to it closed forever when a rock balanced above the entry was sent crashing down purposely, calamitously loosening the precarious walls underneath. Now Shefford's dangerous attempt to rescue Fay is no easy accomplishment for someone who knew his efforts might end in a savage massacre. |

| Shefford halted his tired horse and gazed with slowly realizing eyes. A league-long slope of sage rolled and billowed down to Red Lake, a dry red basin, denuded and glistening, a hollow in the desert, a lonely and desolate door to the vast, wild, and broken upland beyond. All day Shefford had plodded onward with the clear horizon-line a thing unattainable; and for days before that he had ridden the wild bare flats and climbed the rocky desert benches. The great colored reaches and steps had led endlessly onward and upward through dim and deceiving distance. A hundred miles of desert travel, with its mistakes and lessons and intimations, had not prepared him for what he now saw. He beheld what seemed a world that knew only magnitude. Wonder and awe fixed his gaze, and thought remained aloof. Then that dark and unknown northland flung a menace at him. An irresistible call had drawn him to this seamed and peaked border of Arizona, this broken battlemented wilderness of Utah upland; and at first sight they frowned upon him, as if to warn him not to search for what lay hidden beyond the ranges. |
|
|
| Yes. He wanted to stay, and I had work there that'll keep him awhile. Shefford, we got news of Shadd--bad news. The half-breed's cutting up rough. His gang shot up some Piutes over here across the line. Then he got run out of Durango a few weeks ago for murder. A posse of cowboys trailed him. But he slipped them. He's a fox. You know he was trailing us here. He left the trail, Nas Ta Bega said. I learned at Stonebridge that Shadd is well disposed toward Mormons. It takes the Mormons to handle Indians. Shadd knows of this village and that's why he shunted off our trail. But he might hang down in the pass and wait for us. |

But to reach them, Shefford would have to go through a Mormon village where trespassing meant death. And the way to the village was blocked by a treacherous outlaw and his murdering crew. |
