Once Upon a Time in the West: Where In Tarnation Is Fort St John???

A Spaghetti Western Fairytale

Once upon a time, in the West, a miner made his way to Fort St John where he settled in for "the quiet life".

He hadn't figured on meetin up with an outlaw dance hall girl who would quickly steal his heart. The quiet homesteader found himself suddenly being pulled into the life of a desperado- fighting banditos, cattle barons, bushwackers, and less than honorable cavalrymen.

When the smoke settled, Garth discovered he'd struck gold as the leader of the Fenton gang, which now consisted of: Garth the Rogue Welder- himself, Klondike Christy, the Twinkled Toed Tulip, the Ornery Buckaroo, the Moon Eyed Rose, and Ma Fenton.

He decided he ought to be makin an honest woman of that dance hall girl, and so, he figured they best be gettin hitched.

They all lived happily up to and ever after the 4th of July 2009.
