This is a collection of twenty stories, some serious, some light-hearted, set in the Wild West. They are much shorter than my 'Sunset Stories', already posted and are stand-alone items.
This is a story suggested by a real incident in Texas in the 1860s. A doctor is murdered by a gang of Union Army veterans, and his daughter is out for revenge on the damyankees. Her specialty is a LeMat combination 9-shot pistol and 18-gauge shotgun (a real Confederate cavalry weapon). Join her as she combines being a doctor and a superhero.
HANGED! Elizabeth Bell's two mischievous teenage boys were going to be hanged at noonday tomorrow! The boys only hope lay in the Red Bell ranch cook's uncertain hands. Could Jack Sharp pull a miracle out of his stew pot? Would this ranch hand cook up justice and perhaps win the heart of the woman he loved?
The wild young cowboy, Texas Red, falls in love with the beautiful Faleena. When she flirts with another the guns start shooting. Based on the Marty Robbins trilogy of songs: El Paso, Faleena & El Paso City. Shortly I will post the sequel, "El Paso City."
Jake goes to the dance hall and sees the girl of his dreams wearing tight fittin' jeans. What's the story behind this high-tone woman showing up in a honky tonk joint?
