Saddle up…

The Oak Hill Boys started in Dry Gulch, Arizona Territory. And over time, are making their way around the territory.

Dry Gulch

The OHB base of operations. Dry Gulch is home to the Hard Knocks Saloon, the boys’ favorite watering hole. Most days, you’ll see Jobe hanging out by the swinging doors with his dog, Axe.

Townsend Mine

This mine is about a half day’s ride west of Dry Gulch. It is owned by Mattie Townsend, the widow of Glenn. Glenn and Mattie discovered a large quantity of silver on their farm. A beloved war veteran Colonel William Cooley approached them with the idea of selling their claim. But the Townsends refused, wanting to work the land themselves. Glenn ended up poisoned. And while the Boys suspect Cooley, it hasn’t been proved.

Billy Rise the Medicine Man is helping Mattie get the mine started. With an eye on their futures, the Boys purchased an interest.

Privilegio

This small town was terrorized by Bill Cooley’s well-heeled, but mean tempered brother, Wyatt. Until the Oak Hill Boys surprised Wyatt and his men one day as they came into town.

Tusacana Mountains

These majestic formations are the home to Absalom Mecketts and a motley crew of Apaches and hired guns. Absalom grew up in nearby Globe and had an unnatural attraction to schoolteacher Rubie Bellamy. But alas, his love was unrequited. This hastened Absalom’s descent into crime and infamy, as he mysteriously robbed banks and trains using arcane magic.

The Tusacanas are also the final destination of The Ivory Trail.

Cow Spring

In his never-ending pursuit of the Asian Gentleman, Shady McCoy traveled to this town because he heard his nemesis was playing cards there. Shady shuffled up and dealt. But in the ensuing gunfight, a local was killed. The Asian Gentleman escaped. And Shady was put in jail for murder. He was eventually hanged. Or was he?

Globe

This town may feel familiar to many. Nearby, schoolteacher Rubie Bellamy and her family were terrorized by giant men.

And before that, the Oak Hill Boys foiled a Chinese drug shipment leaving a local Globe business named Utter Freight.

Fort Apache

This garrison of 100 U.S. soldiers is led by Colonel Wilcox, a salty man with a gold tooth. At the present time, the relationship between the Apache Indians and the white man is relatively peaceful. But it’s only a matter of time before tensions rise.

Dreamcatcher Temple

A map to his long-lost temple was found by Louis Toadvine as he inspected the contents of a safe in Black Horse. The Oak Hill Boys explored the temple, battling an Apache Indian spirit that seemed to inhabit different statues. Inside the main chamber, they found a contraption that gave them visions of the future.

Cooley’s Ranch

The Boys have never been to this place. Nestled in some pine trees, this is the home of Colonel William “Bill” Cooley. Posing as a beloved war veteran, it seems as though Cooley is involved in much of the darker activities of Dry Gulch and Surroundings. The land has been in the Cooley family for generations.

It is well known that Cooley is estranged with his wife, who is staying at the Lazy Dog Hotel & Saloon in Dry Gulch.

Last the Boys knew, Cooley was being visited by Catherine, his daughter. Louis, Jack, Royce and Ezra saved Catherine as her stagecoach was about to be robbed.

Clearwater

The Boys have had quite a few adventures in this small town. They met Lydia Wright there, Cole’s widow, to give her Cole’s share of $25,000 stolen 25 years ago.

But later, Lydia’s idiot brother was killed. And our intrepid group needed to find out who killed him. It nearly got them poisoned. But we’ll save that story for another day.

Winslow

Yes. Winslow Arizona. Joke in here somewhere. In this town, Ma Hensley’s sons attempted some revenge. A bank president tried to lie, cheat and steal. And Louis got caught with his pants down. Or maybe that was another town.

Black Horse

North of Dry Gulch, along the Atlantic & Pacific Rail, lies Black Horse. It survived a fire from a roving band of drunken fire priests. But later, fire claimed even them. We understand the town is still looking for a sheriff.
