Quotes by Joel Jenkins  (?)

“The drum of hoofbeats rang from the trail winding up the side of Telegraph Hill, and then the sound of footsteps preceding them came to Crow’s ears.”
Joel Jenkins, The Coming of Crow

“Lone Crow climbed Telegraph Hill, winding his way through clusters of tents and ramshackle wooden shelters of the Chileno encampment that clung to the slopes like barnacles on a ship’s hull.”
Joel Jenkins, The Coming of Crow

“Still, the badger-warrior’s momentum kept him running forward and Crow feared that upraised sword might be able to cleave either he or Ferguson in twain.”
Joel Jenkins, The Coming of Crow
