In 1899, modernity clashes with the fading Wild West. Industry and law meet untamed lands influenced by deep-seated sexism and racism. Towns evolve, yet dangers and old superstitions persist. Progress contrasts with folklore. Diverse landscapes reflect social inequalities and contested resources. Industrial growth offers opportunity but also exploitation, straining a prejudiced society. Life is harsh; the beautiful land demands resilience, often tested by societal biases and ingrained beliefs.

In 1877, Dutch and Hosea took in a troubled fourteen-year-old orphan, Arthur Morgan, teaching him essential skills in their gang-like family. In 1885, Dutch rescued twelve-year-old John Marston from a lynching and brought him into the gang, instilling distrust toward authority and advocating against cold-blooded killing. The boys became favorites, sparking envy among other members. In 1893, Bill Williamson, a dishonorably discharged US Army veteran, attempted to rob Dutch but was instead invited to join the gang, giving him a sense of purpose despite his lack of conventional intelligence. His unwavering loyalty made him valuable. In 1894, Uncle introduced Abigail Roberts, a prostitute who developed a romantic relationship with John, claiming to be pregnant, which John denied. In 1895, Dutch found Javier Escuella, a young Mexican exile, while stealing chickens. Taking him into the gang, Dutch provided food and clothing, leading Javier to become one of their most skilled gunmen.
