A Bullet for the Old Man is a chapter in Episode 2 of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. It is about Silas Greaves's fighting with The Cowboys in Guadalupe Canyon in Mexico.
Plot Summary
Silas moved to Mexico and worked for Mexican Rurales after the event of A Fistful of Hot Lead, in an attempt to get closer to his archenemies.
In an assignment, Silas arrived too late to save a stagecoage robbed by bandits led by Old Man Clanton. As murders were eliminated, Silas was engaged by groups of bandits from high grounds in "Apache style". Silas managed to shoot as many as he could, but soon enough, he ran into ammo shortages. He had to escape into a cave, running as fast as he can, until he found a corpse of a dead Indian warrior from which he regained much needed ammo and dynamites. This seemingly miraculous event turned the tide, and enabled Silas to commerce his counterattack. By using rocks as cover, Silas managed to outflank and kill a Gatling-cranking Clanton singlehandedly. Silas maintained the death of Clanton had nothing to do with the Earps despite what widespread belief would suggest.
