More CORA roughs

I'm into the second pass of the first chapter of CORA and have been reworking a lot of the pages. I've switched up the setting
from New Mexico to Montana and also done more research into the particular time period (1888). What I've arrived at is much less generic than the first pass at the chapter, which was basically straight from the gut -- I feel the new pass is really starting to come together emotionally and this chapter will most likely be the first thing to be printed from the book.

I learn a lot about roughing in layout by looking at your stuff. Can't wait until this book is out.

Thanks everybody - I'm trying hard to get the first part of this book out for next year...I feel like I'm pretty close to getting the first 55 pages of layouts ready for clean up.
