Social Commentary

There is bare minimum social commentary in my novel. But I threw in a few bones. Mostly about attitudes toward Mexicans and Indians. But, at one point, Dan tells his wife, he believes when the land becomes settled, folks won't have much need of guns. His new wife responds by laughing it off. "There will always be polecats needing to be killed," she counters. There is no actual preaching in any of it.
