Cal Rymes left the Civil War and his time with the infamous butcher Colonel William Clarke Quantrill. He left Quantrill’s Raiders with a particular set of talents and a desire to get as far away from his past as possible. All he wanted was a quiet life, a small ranch to breed horses and raise cattle. A lofty goal for a man who knows nothing but how to take a life.
A marksmanship contest in Dodge City gives him a chance at a new start, where he wins a prized Winchester “Golden Boy” rifle and the moniker of the Calico Kid. Striking out for Cheyenne with his newfound friends to make a grub stake hunting buffalo, Cal finally gets a glimpse of the life he’s been fighting for. All that stands between him and the sweet life is the Sutter Gang and brutal leader Neil Sutter. With the railway inching ever closer, Cheyenne is a boom town on the verge of going boom. A town in need of heroes and finding only outlaws. These are violent times for violent men. And Neil Sutter and his men are about to find out they bit off more than they can chew when they decided to cross the Calico Kid."

August 21, 1863
A half dozen men huddled around a small campfire in Mount Oread hidden by thick cypress trees discussing the upcoming raid on the little town of Lawrence, Kansas, while the rest of the troops milled about waiting for the order to mount their horses. Quantrill read the letter Mrs. Loren sent to him a second time. “Well, this letter spells it all out. We have a good map of the town and we now know which houses to spare.” He looked up at his lieutenants and laughed, which on this night, gave him an otherworldly unbalanced look that foretold of the horror that was about to be visited on the town of Lawrence. “Tonight we will ride into Lawrence and we’ll clean the town out. We’ll rob the bank, stores, houses, and we’ll take everything of value and when we’re finished sacking the town, we’ll slaughter every man, woman and child.” He held the letter up for all of his men to see and then he paused for effect. “Except for the few names of friends mentioned in this letter.”
