Lonesome Dove: Gus and Call in San Antonio

Gus and Call buy a wagon in San Antonio, and visit the Buckhorn Saloon.

Augustus pitched a ten-dollar gold piece on the bar and as the young man took it, suddenly reached out, grabbed his head and smashed his face into the bar, before the young man could even react. Then he quickly drew his big Colt, and when the bartender raised his head, his broken nose gushing blood onto his white shirtfront, he found himself looking right into the barrel of a very big gun.
