I love this story... beautifully written, I love how you put everything into perspective and the love and sacrifice Joe showed. Truly a story of brotherly love. The way that Joe described each one of the family was perfect.

That was great! Oh brotherly love is my favorite. I love joe and how he tried to solve it without violence. I would love to read a fanfic like this but where joe succeeds in convincing ju-long to go in peace. I loved it, thank you for sharing!

Great story. Love when Joe can speak Chinese and Hop Sing is integral to the family!

Oh my gosh! I don't know why more people haven't reviewed. This is amazing! I love the way you portrayed Joe and Adam. I could easily see this being an episode. Well done!

I love how wise Joe is in this story. Wise and selfless and keenly aware of the importance of honor, brotherhood, and love above all.

Boy this story is very good. I did not expect Joe to say "Shoot him instead of Adam." That surprised me. I am glad that when he did get shot that it was not a fatal shot. You told it well; although when you mentioned that Joe was taking the China men around to Virginia City and showing them survival skills on the way, that it reminded me of the story of "Charlie Two." Joe was showing Charlie survival skills on his way back to the Ponderosa before Charlie would try to kill his father. Again, this story is very good. Thank you.

this was was another great story of joe suffering and adam angst - this is my favorite theme - it was very well written and i enjoyed it all - thanks

I'm glad Little Joe made Adam promise not to seek revenge, and I'm glad he survived the wound. I agree with Hop Sing...the Cartwrights are honorable men.

What a truly wonderful story! I don't usually read the serious ones, but I am glad that I did. You had me on the edge of my seat with this story. You have written this family as they were on the show...men of honor and a family that loves each other. Excellent writing! Very well done!
