The Old West…
Its women
Its Cowboys
Its territories
Its untold stories
Its forgotten history
In these fictional short stories I wrote , you will discover the men and women of the 1800’s American frontier and how they shaped the most powerful nation in the world.
They tamed a wild, inhospitable land into submission by harnessing old world skills, values and being unafraid to draw a line in the sand.
In honor of all who came before, who threw a rope, who rode for the brand, this blog consisting of my short stories is dedicated to them.
“Each post listed on the right side column is the title to one of my written Western Short Stories… read ’em and enjoy ’em for free! These are not cut down versions of a longer tale.
