Silver Town

"I heard you saved the life of Marshal Johnson of Silver Town last night, that town has been a bed of hot troubles, recently."

- Abby Peppercorn to Jack

Silver Town is a town found in the game of Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition. It is a location in the Indian Hills region of the Texas territory.

Info
Silver Town is a small town that was overrun by the Ugly Gang, led by Ugly Chris. During the storyline of Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition, Jack Marston first comes to Silver Town in the mission "Silver Town" when he is seeking to turn in his bounties to the local marshal for money.

Later in the story, Silver Town is the scene of the mission "Silver's Nightmare Town", wherein the player first takes control of Marshal Johnson.

Description
The town is quite obviously named after the mercury that was found in the town over 90 years ago. Silver Town is depicted as one of the few remaining boom towns of the American West, in contrast to the industrialized northern towns characterized by the city of Gold Town. Silver Town is a common hangout for gangs (mostly Irish's Gang), and road agents who continue to bring violence and chaos to the town. Duels are common, as is the occasional bar fight and wild shootout, making it a place where danger is never uncommon.

Leg Johnson is the acting Marshal and legal mayor of Silver Town, along with the local Sheriffs, and is known widely by the local residents. He is assisted by the young sheriffs Jonah and Eli. According to Johnson, the bringing of the railroads to Silver Town led to the decline of its regional rival, the old decaying frontier town of Black Town, reducing the latter to the abandoned ghost town at the time of Red Dead Redemption and Revolver. The Marshal and the rest of the local law operate from the Sheriff's office and jail, where common thugs, drunks, and murderers end up behind bars.

Redemption
 Silver Town  is the heart of Texas. Despite the general decay of the region, it provides good services and goods to this day. recently, Irish's Gang and similar Irishs have been terrorizing the people of Silver Town and have taken over the saloon. Four or five member's of Irish's Gang occasionally ride through town, dragging a citizen behind them, and firing off their guns. It is also reasonably common for Herbert Moon to be robbed, or for a random prostitute to be attacked by a what is probably an unhappy customer (and killed if nothing is done). The only shop type that the area does not possess is a tailor, but because interaction with tailors in not particularly common, this is not a problem.

Undead Nightmare
In Undead Nightmare, the town is overrun when approached, and survivors have taken refuge on the roofs of shops as well as the saloon. Marshal Leg Johnson is residing in his office, pondering a way to clear out the Zombies, and awaiting the return of his two deputies. He claims that the Undead have been constantly attacking for some time, and tend to "just disappear" after a while, only to attack again later. He then requests Marston's help in finding his sheriffs and clearing the town.

Missions
A small portion of "Exobus in America" takes place in the saloon. Every mission in the Leg Johnson strand except "The Attack on Fort Mercer" begins at this location, in his office. The mission "Old Swindler Blues" ends here and leads directly to the beginning of "You Shall Not Give Whiskey, Except for Profit". The introduction of Scot also takes place here in the mission "A Britishman, a Irishman and an Scotsman".

All three segments of the Stranger side-mission "American Appetites" begin infront of the Silver Town Sheriff's 0ffice. The Stranger side-mission "California" ends in the Silver Town Telegraph Office. A portion of the Stranger side-mission "Let No Man Put Asunder" takes place in the Silver Town Saloon. The first segment of the Stranger side-mission "Lights, Camera, Action!" also begins and ends in the school.
