Ahead lay a crumpled complex of red hills, very weathered and backed by immense, snowy mountain peaks. This was where we were heading. The road was dirt, corrugated by truck tyres but a much better-made surface than I had expected.

“Assassinated.” That’s what the inscription read on Eunice and Wm. Henry White’s tombstones. It was a powerful moment.

On it was an inscription, which Jeff began to read:
“William H. White and Eunice, his wife, assassinated on the night of November 21, 1883 … how well prepared for the swift approaching shock. Although unwarned we mourn
Eunice and William White and their unborn child.
