How the story begins

"Go away from here or I'll mash your head with this rock." Jenny Anderson, the Maverick family's cook, said that with a big rock raised over her head, standing in front of her own children and Mary Maverick's, behind a house on this plaza. The man she said it to had just come through the back gate with two others, heading for the river. They had come from a peace meeting. It was 19 March 1840.

The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
