Thank you for listening! This episode we read listeners emails and...
We discuss the disturbing...and poetic chapter 12 where the gang ambushes a community for scalps.
And...we notice significant dates in the novel. We have a Substack page and we have created a list of dates and astronomical movements/descriptions. It's free to subscribe and read!
