Thirteen frontier tales take you back to the Old West, circa 1860-1900, a time when ranchers, soldiers and settlers made their place in history. Cowboys pushed herds into unknown territories, railroads laid the foundations for cities to come, ranchers gathered up land, sodbusters proved their claims, the army built their forts. These stories are about the people who made up the West, some good, some bad. The heroes are men AND women, and the Indians in these tales reveal bits of the culture and spirituality that the white man, at the time, seldom understood. If you add some robbers and gun fighters and a lone prospector like Charlie, that pretty much sums it up.

This collection of Kent Kamron's frontier stories is the second in a series of adventures set in the Old West, circa 1860-1900. Cowboys amble up lonesome cattle trails where trouble is brewing, posses chase down bandits and bank robbers, and some downright mean killers lie in wait of judgement day. 
 These stories take place over a vast part of America, stretching from Canada to Texas and from Minnesota to Montana. Forts Butford, Caspar and Fetterman are the sites for some calvary stories, where soldiers portrayed an ominous presence. Scattered about, the Blackfeet, Arapaho and Sioux Indians stand fast and protective, leery of the white man's invasion of their land. 
 These tales are about the colorful characters who lived and died during the westward movement, some white, some black, some Indian. The overriding theme of revenge and justice is prevalent in these lively tales in which the men and women end up either heroes or victims.
