writer, critics have a hard time characterizing his works due to his incoherent literary structure. Thomas Nashe has been pinned as an enigma of the literary community as his writing often portrays multiple writing styles all at once. “The Unfortunate Traveller” is the epitome of this.

notion of honour is proving to be detrimental to the safety and way of life in our city. Young men who could help build and contribute to our city are being killed in the name of this sickness, boys are learning that violence is good, and traders and travellers are passing by our city in fear, bringing economic decay.

If white supremacists come through, do we move all non-white officers from the line?” The officers that were told that a group of travellers did not want to deal with them were hurt, and one could imagine the frustration they must have felt.

This fundamental societal flaw is what forms the basis of, what Will Wright coins, the “vengeance variation” of the western.

Wherein, eight travelers board a stagecoach from Tonto to Lordsburg, despite threats from Geronimo and the Apaches. Along the way, the stagecoach
