Jonathan Rich

In the year 1550, Jonathan Rich saw that he could take modern Barlovian methods of cattle breeding and introduce them into the wilds of Saldonia. On his own, he left for Delcova Territory to follow his
dream and start up a ranch. When he got there, he fell in with Samuel Woods, a local lawyer who was willing to put up the money to back Rich's venture. The ranch prospered, despite the regular harassment Rich received by Tuck McCloud, the local financial baron.
Jonathan Rich was as good a man as there ever was in Suicide Bluff. He took in wayward young men who were wandering the wilds, and gave them a job and a home. He taught them how to read and how to act like gentlemen. And more than anything else, he gave them self-respect.
In 1551, the aggressive competition between McCloud and Rich finally exploded into a full-fledged range war. Rich's
young men rose to the challenge and defended his interests well. It was during this time that Rich met Hot Lou Coleman and took her under his wing.
In 1553, however, Jonathan Rich was shot down in cold blood by John Rose and Sal Darnley, two of McCloud's men. It was this incident which caused the forming of the Suicide Bluff Posse and initiated the bloody climax of the Suicide Bluff range war.
