Ryland Moss

By Herb Marlow

From Georgia to Virginia, Colorado to Texas, Texas to Georgia, and then back to Texas, this is the odyssey of Ryland Moss. As a sixteen-year-old boy Ryland went to war, he came back in 1865 at twenty to a Georgia plantation now managed by his older brother Frank, who did not want to share. That was okay with Rye as he was headed West. Before he left Georgia, Ryland's dad gave him a U.S. twenty-dollar gold piece and ten silver dollars that he had kept through the war. Ryland met three other former horse soldier in Memphis and went to the gold fields in Colorado with them. That worked out well enough that he could buy a Texas cattle ranch. And then one day in 1879 he received a letter from a lawyer in Columbus, Georgia letting him know that Frank was dead and Rye had inherited Shade Valley Plantation. Now what? Should he go back to Georgia? The odyssey continues...
