Story Timeline

The story of Cassidy Brooks so far — from a Dustwater stable kid to the territory’s most trusted scout. Fictional timeline.

• Twenty years back
  Born Cassidy Maren Brooks in Dustwater, Redstone Territory. Her mother runs the general store; her father drives freight. She learns to braid rope before she can spell.
• Age 9
  The spring flood takes the Dustwater stage on the Salt River. Trail boss Gideon Voss gets the coach across with a lantern and a memory — and Cassidy decides she’ll be that memory.
• Age 14
  Apprenticed to Gideon Voss. Learns the fording line, the rim checks, the water holes, and the code: ride straight, get folks home.
• Age 17
  First solo guiding run: Dustwater to Copper Flats, a family of five, through Red Wash in a dust storm. Everybody arrives. Nobody’s late for supper.
• Age 21
  Finds a wild dun filly trapped in a Red Wash box canyon. Frees her, names her Juniper, and has never ridden another horse since.
• Age 24
  Maps the ventilation shafts of Ghost Mesa “as a lark, and because Voss told me a scout maps everything twice.” The map saves a survey crew years later.
• Age 26
  The Salt River Crossing: guides a stranded stagecoach across the flood-stage river at dawn. Sixteen passengers, zero lost.
• Age 27
  The Silver of Ghost Mesa: leads a trapped survey crew out through the old shafts while Silas Vane’s men close in.
• Age 28
  The High Noon Duel at Dustwater: stands in the street between Cole Tanner and the bank — and nobody bleeds.
• Now, age 29
  Takes on Wren Calloway as a trail apprentice. The stream concept is announced: trail lessons, live rides, and Q&A from the bunkhouse porch. See the mockup.
