Robert E.

Robert E is the blacksmith of Colorado Springs. Once a slave, his children were taken from him to face the same fate.

Robert E. fell in love with Grace, the owner of the town's café, and they decided to wed. Much controversy ensued from the marital decision; finally, Reverend Johnson conducted the service in the church. Although accepted in town, Robert E. has had run-ins with the KKK.

Unable to conceive, Grace and Robert E decided on adoption. They adopted a Cheyenne baby, Live-In-Hopes, but it was decided that it would be better if his own people raised him. Then, after some initial hesitation, they adopted, Anthony, a sickly young orphan.
