You and Charles have a very interesting trip. This is a good time to learn something new... Charles Colcord: When I was 10, I fell ill with malaria from a nearby swamp. My father sent me to my uncle in Texas. After that, my father bought the land in Texas and started a business with horses. I ran away to work as a cowboy.... Come one, we can try it again.

Charles Colcord: Do you want know what came next? Ok, so... After that I became a buffalo hunter on the western prairies. There I learned about the need for horses in central Kansas, which I reported back to my father. A few years later my father, William, teamed up with his friend Hines Clark to drive a herd of 1200 mares north to paddocks in the Cherokee Outlet. I was among the half-dozen riders... beautiful times. And I decided to stay in Kansas when my family moved again. Oh, look here. A buffalo... Who will hunt the biggest buffalo?
 Finish
Charles Colcord: I am still good! I am better than you, haha! But you are still young and you can learn how to become better. I have enough for now. Can we go to the farm?

Charles Colcord: You really like a story with bandits, eh? Ok, I have another one for you, but after that we have to go to the plantation. So, after a few years, I decided to become a building contractor in Oklahoma City. I first staked a claim in Hennessey, but immediately sold my claim and went to Oklahoma City. At the end of all this excitement, a noisy tent city had sprung up, and I was among the leading citizens. I served for two years as Chief of Police. Every day I caught at least one bandit. I do not like wrongdoing.
 Finish
Charles and you are chatting all night. His stories about the outlaws are really interesting. Oh, tomorrow morning you'll have a hangover.

Charles was here. He told me how you helped him. It is really good to have you in our city. I feel much safer thanks to you. And Colcord... He has always been a modest, humble, generous and kind person. I guess he remembers the less fortunate friends of his early days.
 Finish
When you leave the saloon, you see a beautiful black Colcord's horse. You notice a piece of paper sticking out from a pocket on the saddle. On it it's written in spidery writing: "Thank you for all you have done, {PLAYER_NAME}! Regards, Colcord"
