Bad Day In Tiger Town

This morning I gave permission for the Federal Government to go on my ancestral land and remove the Bundyites. Hours later, there was a shootout on Highway 395 just outside the city of John Day, and the ghost town, Canyon City, where Joaquin Miller lived. Miller was a Judge in this tiny town that caught fire when John Day burned. Did he write letters here, to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in England? Inside John Day was a famous Chinatown called, Tiger Town. There were arrests. Ammon Bundy was  put in cuffs and is now in jail. One cowboy lie dead in a morgue.

A hundred years ago, Mark Twain, Bret Harte, and countless Western authors would be heading for Tiger Town to write the definitive story, and give them New Yorkers a big thrill. My grandfather, Royal Rosamond, would have written a story. I am now authoring a book on the Bundyites – and a movie script!
