Persuaded by greed and a scouts tale of old Indian gold to be found at the burial ground next to a hidden city the disgruntled passed over Sergeant and his cronies, deserted their post.
A weeks journey on horseback from the nearest town. Where they were supposedly guarding miners after a recent outbreak of a roving war band. The miners had moved on or died months before, but the Army had kept them there with nothing to do but count rocks.
After days of riding and doubts of the tales truth starting to be voiced, the deserters having followed the direction as best they could came to the entrance of what once had been a City of the Indians cut into the rocks and finding the burial ground simply by finding bones scattered on the surface they began to grub round looking for this treasure. Harly had they started when they were jumped upon by a band of renegade Indians.....
