Deadwood Dick's Doom, or Calamity's Jane Last Adventure

My first thought Reading the first few pages were, where is Deadwood or Calamity?

The Novel started off fairly quick with the first few pages being background information, that was much needed to explain the quick happenings throughout the story. Even though it's a quick read, the language that the ruffians used was very hard for me to understand. It made the novel a harder one to read and follow during those parts.

When Vergie and Nic entered Death Notch, their discovery that the next stage wouldn't be leaving for another week for Helena. let me know that they were going to have a long week!

A few character Impressions.

Deadwood Dick:
My first impression of him was that he is a like a hero, who rescues the weak. I just knew he was going to rescue Vergie and Nic as he did the little Indian girl. But to my surprise he lost the battle with Piute Dave and was thrown in quicksand. The good guys are always suppose to win!

Calamity Jane:
She seemed to be an ionic figure also as Deadwood Dick was. It's only fit for the two heroes to fall in love. But to her dismay, she wasn't able to reunite with Deadwood Dick. Being such a hard figure who was seen as strong and powerful, for her to cry and show emotions let me know that she has a soft side.

The Demon Dwarf:
He is a very loony character! Just as the Indian chief Red Hatchett, he despises and wants to seek revenge against all palefaces. I found it interesting that he Chief offered his daughter to a paleface, even thought she could possible carry on his legacy. This was done in exchanged for revenge on all palefaces, but it just seemed a little weird!

This novel so far has a lot of loose ends that have been left hanging. The more I read the more confusing the plot seems to get because of all of the character who have different things that they are involved in.....
There is Vergie and Nic, who are stuck and are being harassed the whole time they are there. And then the aspect of Vergie being taken in the night.
Which leads to a mystery person... another character to keep up with!
The Inn people.. who are too great in number to name.
Deadwood Dick who just appears out of no where.
Calamity James who does the same.
The Indian aspect of it all and the Dwarf seeking revenge.
