May 1860 - the newly created Pony Express has a waystation set up in Dry Gulch, Colorado. The town, previously a little tumbledown place with a handful of gold miners hoping to strike it rich, has recently grown much bigger thanks to the discovery of a good vein of gold and the benefit of being on both the pony express route and the newly-built railroad line. A love of money and liquor wars with the Temperance League, who are trying to clean up the town and attempting to get on the city council to outlaw booze.
