The Claim. A story set in 1867 about a man who sells his wife and child back in 1849 for a few gold pieces and a claim. The claim produced and made him rich. He builds a town owning most everything and becomes wealthier. Until his wife shows up some 17 years later with the daughter he sold along with a railroad surveyor. The surveyor looks for a path for the railroad and decides to lay it elsewhere. BTW, there is a madam and brothel in the story which complicates things. I'll leave it at that for you to watch and see how this all unfolds.
