The fateful trials of a wagon train crossing the Mississippi River;
the entertaining conversation between two old-timers killing time
instead of bad men; a sheriff with heart trouble still trying to do
his job on the plains of Kansas; a touching Wyoming tale of an
aging rancher out for revenge; a Boston lady discovering violence
in Tombstone, Arizona; the poignant memoir of a youth facing a
gallows in Texas; a wounded marshal caught up in a disturbing
family death near Cripple Creek, Colorado; a desperate man full of
love for his dying wife in Dodge City, Kansas; an Arizona posse out
for the kill; and an injured gambler cared for by a traveling
troupe of prostitutes in Nevada.
Such are the men and women who fill the pages of ten new
intriguing tales of the American west of the nineteenth century.
These narratives of human interest are all wrapped up in themes of
mystery, death, love, and dedication. Forgoing the standard heroics
and shoot-'em-up action found in formula westerns, this collection
of stories intimately explores the people and their continual
struggle with themselves and each other as they seek their own
brand of justice.
