Recap: I noticed some people have been reviewing saying that they were confused about some of the characters and the plot. This story is the sequel to another one of my stories "Shades of Gray". In that story Brian dies of yellow fever. However, in "Survival of the Fittest" I decided not to have Brian be dead. I also added some characters in "Shades of Gray" they are:

Katrina: Matthew's young Irish bride. She came to American in 1878. They have a son Luke who is one.

Natalie Antonia: Grace and Robert E's 10 yr old daughter. (Grace was pregnant with her in the last episode)

Samantha Bing: We know of her but in my story Myra died and she's living with Horace, she's 14 yrs old

Seana Sully: Dr. Mike's and Sully's daughter she's 3 (I created her she is not in the series)


Susannah: Rev. Johnson's wife with 6 kids. She is a good friend of Dr. Mike's and she came over for Alabama in the 1846 on the Oregon Trail and then moved from Oregon to CS when her husband left her.
Susannah and Rev'd 's children are:
Paige-11 yrs old
Christopher and Mary Ellen- 7
Joshua-9
Harriet-5

Rebecca (Becky) & Jonas Cook: Andrew and Colleen's twins (5 yrs old) (I created them they are not in the series)

Emily Cook: Andrew and Colleen's daughter (2 yrs old) (I created her ,she is not in the series)



Cloud Dancing and Dorothy are married: again not in series I created their union

Nicholas Slicker: Jake and Teresa 's (5) yr old sickly son (I created him not in series)
