Buried Confederate treasure, a suspicious death and the fate of
a little girl's birthright conspire to lure a drifting cowhand on
an unwanted journey through post-Civil War Texas. It is a journey
marked by danger, death, and mystery. At the terminus awaits an old
foe, a new love, and unimaginable riches.
Here is the story of young Jeremiah Goldberg, a 10-year-old in the
burg of Stillwater, California in 1880, a boomtown with mystery,
murder, and intrigue at its core. For Jeremiah and his trusty pals,
Rachel Burgoyne and Fong Lee, there's adventure to be mined, and
Red Gold delivers the mother lode with aplomb. Like the dime novels
featuring the setting-the-world-to-rights avenger McAlester, so
beloved of our pint-sized hero, Red Gold tells the tale of a Jewish
boy becoming a man when events threaten to turn Jeremiah's actual
life into a story torn from the pages of pulp fiction.
Hannah Lea Gibson understands it is only a matter of time before
she's discovered and forced to return to her uncle's ranch to
relive a nightmare of blood and terror. Flinching in fear as the
Cafe door opens, she spies the dust stained traveler and realizes
her time has run out..... Texas Ranger Jack Lintell is charged with
the task of delivering Hannah to Texas to stand trial for murder.
But when he and Hannah head out together though the sage cloaked
range of a wild and dangerous west, his skills as a ranger are put
to the test as he too becomes a target. Their nightmare, however,
is only beginning, as Jack and Hannah must race to save their very
lives from men who will stop at nothing to get what they seek. With
time running out, can Jack prove Hannah's innocence and at the same
time uncover a killer's dirty secret without risking his fidelity
to duty which he values more than all else, save the life he has
now sworn to protect...."

escapades that grow out of the very frontier that holds them fast.

young orphan from Philadelphia and a burgeoning cowman in his own
right, partner up to ride for the brand handled simply as the O U T
(Oh-Ewe-Tee) Spread. Their third season of cow crafting finds this
pair in the company of, or referenced to, such historic old west
personages as, Wyatt Earp, Teddy Blue Abbott, Crazy Horse, and
Teddy Roosevelt. Ornery, Slim, and the other hands of the outfit

intended to rekindle fond recollections of Old West evenings sat
around campfires to a passel of never before told bone rattling and
hair-raising cowman tales. Offered is a unique opportunity to
'ride' back to those wild and wooly days of America's western
yesteryears.

A cache of stolen guns is hidden among the mystical rocks of
Vedauwoo, Wyoming, and escaped convict Vilo Creed is hell-bent on
raking in some easy money by selling the stash to Sioux sub-chief
Kicking Bear for the Ghost Dance movement. Deputy U.S. Marshal Cash
Laramie has been charged with finding Creed before the madman digs
up the guns that'll fuel the fire of a major uprising. But will a
run-in with a holed-up gang of train robbers and trying to protect
a group of adventure-seeking rock climbers prevent Cash from
stopping Creed in time? THE GUNS OF VEDAUWOO is the second Cash
Laramie novel by Wayne D. Dundee, following on the heels of his
bestselling MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN. Praise for Wayne D. Dundee and
Manhunter's Mountain: "Dundee keeps the action moving along at a
rapid pace, and as always, Cash Laramie is a compelling character,
a testament to Cranmer's (Edward A. Grainger) creation of him in
the first place." -- James Reasoner "Excellent hard-boiled western
that does more than grip you with a strong story, but settles you
among characters you'll miss when the last page is turned." --
Thomas Pluck "A solid, unflinching Western." -- Nigel Bird "Dundee
doesn't write for the faint-hearted." -- Mel Odom "A fast,
hardboiled Western that continues the Cash Laramie legend with
swagger and good, solid writing." -- Larry Sweazy
