Name: Annie Caulder (a.k.a. “The Widow Caulder”) Gender: Female Age: late 30s

Anne Tabitha Caulder, née Potter, was once just an ordinary housewife. Well, ordinary for someone who followed her husband out into the wilds of the frontier where her husband, Arthur, started living his dream of owning land and ranching horses.

The dream, shared eventually by Annie, went well. Arthur had a gift for handling the stock, and Anne, supporting him from the homestead, also, as is normal in such enterprises, also aided him in running the ranch. Dreams end, however and sometimes nightmares take their place. That's what happened to the Triple Wave Ranch. Raiding desperados tried to steal horses. The ranch rushed out to defend. In the thick of the battle, which finally drove off the raiders, Arthur fell, a bullet through his neck, his life's blood pumped out into the dust before anybody could render aid, hopeless as such aid would have been.

Annie was bereft at the loss, as is to be expected. She cleaned up what she could, and stacked the bodies left behind on the field, including her husband's, onto a cart and drove them into town to give them decent Christian burials.

Even the outlaws.

While in town, arranging for the burials, she happened to see the board on the wall of the sheriff's office and to her astonishment recognized three of them as lying in her cart. The sums for their delivery, dead or alive (and in this case they were very dead) paid for their funerals, her husband's, the ranch hand Terry, with money left over to perform repairs on the ranch and buy supplies for several months.

And that's when Annie made her choice. Initially thinking she would sell the ranch and move to civilization, the money from the bounties changed her mind. She would keep Arthur's dream alive. She would work hard to run the ranch, but she, too, would spend time hunting for outlaws, bringing them in for bounties. Getting revenge on those who took Arthur from her and from his dream.

The “Widow Caulder” will have her pound of flesh. And then some.
