Del Page isn’t looking for trouble when he rides into LeBlanc Station, but he sure enough finds it.  The road beyond the station is blocked by men who have a grudge against the crook who runs the station.  Del needs to find a way out, and it won’t be easy.  A woman at the way station wants out, too.  She’s the widow of a man who used to run with this gang, and she’s a little bit pregnant.  Del doesn’t turn his back on her, even though it means more trouble.

“LeBlanc Station” appeared in ReadWest: Stories of the American West (ReadWest Foundation, 2012). This story also appeared in Blue Horse Mesa: Western Stories (RR Productions, 2012).
