Old West Adventure

Louisiana Territory had been the exclusive domain of Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company, seeking to fill their larders with the riches of the uncharted wilderness. But into that territory came two friends, determined to explore and learn about this vast land, land that had seldom if ever had the footprint of a White man. With their journey already taking them through the lands of the Shawnee, Osage, Pawnee, Omaha, and more, they have finally come within sight of the Rocky Mountains, but their way is blocked by the Plains tribes of Arapaho, Ute, Shoshoni, Crow, and others.

National Book Award nominee and five-time Spur Award-winner Loren D. Estleman is widely considered one of America's finest Western authors. In this riotous and action-packed tale of Old West high jinks, a band of thieves posing as a traveling theater troupe runs afoul of a clever Pinkerton agent.

Bumblebee, Arizona is a raw and untamed boom town. It is a place where deals are made with a handshake and disputes are settled with a gun. There is gold in the mountains. Some men mine for it, others steal it from those who labor. Murder is common. Sheriff Johnson needs help now to stave off the wave of crimes that have overtaken the wild frontier town. He had almost given up on any hope of keeping the peace.
