Summary:
High wind: "Looking for a little trouble, boys?" said Bill Hickok. Cowhands surround Buck LaGrange with a sea of fists in a battle that was bound to happen. Why? Because Abilene is packed with angry cattlemen, desperate settlers, ambitious landowners and at least one famous gunslinger. Who'll shoot first? Stagecoach: This is the story that led to the classic John Ford/John Wayne 1939 movie of the same name. Listen as a small group of travelers ride their way to their destination trying to avoid the dangers of the trail, including the famous Geronimo! The claim jumpers: A disillusioned doctor and a brave woman join forces in a dangerous deception. It had better work. Lonesome ride: Entrusted with the delivery of one hundred pounds of gold to his partners, Johnny Potter faces four days of hard riding alone in a land of robbers and treacherous terrain. Toll bridge and Ride the River: These are two more stories of the West as it always was--stark, savage, and brutal.
