"The Bad Year" and "Man Breaker" are moving tales of the hardships faced by small back-country ranchers. "The Road to Jericho" is a variation on the theme of a wagon train plagued by Indians, and "Stagecoach Pass" is an elemental account of a driver's struggles to save his passengers when his coach is caught in a blizzard. In "A Mug at Charley's," a retired steamboat fireman and engineer makes the most of his last chance to fulfill a lifelong dream. And "Whistle on the River," one of Cheshire's best, tells of steamboat builders on the Columbia. Many more stories round out this rich, diverse cross-section of frontier life."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The bad year -- A mug at Charley's -- Strangers in the evening -- Man breaker -- Whistle on the river -- Stagecoach Pass -- Renegade river -- East ain't West -- The road to Jericho -- Know your headings -- A bridge to the future -- Miracle of Starvation Flat. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z West (U.S.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ranchers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wagon trains $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories. 650 0 $a Western fiction. 700 1 $a Pronzini, Bill, $e editor. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044327.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20220511010203.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220412014542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13927372BA2611ECB53FBC0B2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
