Revisit the wild, wild west during a time when unwritten rules of conduct for survival were never formal but respected everywhere on the range in this collection of ten, rollicking short stories, including:'Dangerous Ground': The town marshal quits his job yet he’s reluctant to leave town once he hears about the mayor’s plot to steal $200,000 in gold.'Out of the Desert': Undercover Deputy U.S. Marshal Dan Boone correctly suspects a banker’s plot to steal a gold shipment...'The Hero of Lost Creek': A crippled horse breaker turns hero when he foils cattle rustlers and wins the heart of the boss’s daughter.'The Trail to Nowhere': With Indians hot on his heels, a naked trapper and former schoolteacher runs into the forest in the dead of winter and uses little more than ingenuity to thwart his enemies and get all his stuff back.'Quickdraw': Using a special arm harness and pieces of an old corset, Walker shoots it out with the town bully...'Square-Toed Boots': In a cow town, his farmer’s boots appear to make him fair game but, when four cowboys dare to insult his wife, they’re about to get a lesson in good manners.'Come Morning': At twelve, Sean Mixus can handle a Sharps .50 rifle like nobody’s business but putting up with a bath at his sister’s house every day forces him to consider O’Reilly and the trail herd as his best escape.'Gold is Where You Find It': Marcus and Saul swindle a greedy banker into buying a worthless gold mine, leave town, and they’re living in what they believe is the lap of luxury when they read about a gold strike--right where their false map sent the banker!'Mad Dog Muncie': Two scoundrels at Fort Clark have been cheating folks and selling boys into slavery...but then Mad Dog Muncie appears to right a few wrongs.'Curley’s Kids': Curley Samson is a lone trapper until he rescues two orphan kids and a pretty young woman and finds himself rescued from a life of loneliness in the process.
