In WILD WEST, readers will meet several unforgettable characters, including a young veteran who overcomes his PTSD to fight a town fire, a former sheriff who continues to chase bandits, and a frontier housewife who protects her home from dangerous criminals. Equally fascinating are the rancher and his wife who protect their adopted son when his abusive biological father returns, and the two women whose argument over a prospective lover leads to a no-holds-barred rodeo barrel race. Filled with adventure and imbued with a love of the time, the people, and the place, these stories take us from the earliest days of the Wild West well into the twentieth century, each one embodying a passion for life that's as wide as Texas sky. 541 $d 20211022. 650 $a Frontier and pioneer life $v Fiction. 650 $a Cowboys $v Fiction. 651 $a West (U.S) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Western stories. 655 7 $a Short stories. 941 $a 1 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220201011334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0A79CFC832C11EC91F9F9F449ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
