Return to Shiloh: Chapter 1) I think you'll like it out at Shiloh,Josie. Your father's brother was my friend long ago and he would've wanted me to take care of you. I'm grateful you came, Judge Garth. I don't know what I would've done without you. I hope I can be a good ward. It will be just like you were my own,Josie. In time do you think you could call me Uncle Henry? I think I could,Judge. I bought Shiloh back when I heard it was for sale so the Virginian will be expecting us. What was my uncle like? When I knew him he was a good,kind man. He loved his wife Annie very much. Did they have any children? Yes, a little girl. Her name was Betsy. That's your daughter's name. Yes, I raised her after Annie and I had to leave to get help. Three months after Betsy was born her mother died and I raised her as my own. Did you ever tell her? No, I never did,Josie. The only other people that know are you and the Virginian. I won't ever tell anyone,Judge. You have my word on that. And three days later they were in Medicine Bow and the Virginian picked them up. It's good to see you again,Judge. It's good to see you,Virginian. This is my ward Josie Dawson. She's Frank Dawson's niece. I'm pleased to meet you,Josie. And I you. I've heard so much about you. How's the ranch? It's just fine. We've gotten some new men since you've been away. We were all glad to hear you were coming back,Judge. How's Jennifer? Oh, she's happy with her husband. That's good to hear. I think you'll like it on the ranch,Josie. If you like I could have one of the boys show you around. I'd like that,Virginian. And it wasn't long until they reached Shiloh.
