Sixguns: Saints and Sinners

Welcome to Escondido, Texas. circa 1875

Escondido is a small town on the Texas/Mexican border not far from El Paso. Most of the towns people are nice folk, but Escondido has a rowdy element. The towns people and smaller ranchers and miners often live on the edge of fear. The farmers struggle to make ends meet. Being close to the Mexican border the area is subject to raids by Mexican bandits and renegade Apache. Escondido is also part of the fabled "Outlaw Trail". El Paso as a growing city can be avoided by taking the trail through Escondido.

But as the saying goes "There's gold in them thar' hills." Silver and copper actually, though the Rio Grande still has many mining opportunities and gold is still panned. And the legends of Aztec gold can't be ignored. Mexico is a land in turmoil and many a mercenary seek their fortune there. Escondido has become a way station for such men and women.

There are many ways to get rich in Escondido and the surrounding area. Every manner of man and woman are flocking to the area. Escondido is on the verge of becoming a boom town but it is largely lawless.
