Originally published as 8 short stories, the old west comes alive in this tale of vengeance, comradeship, justice and family, by author Ron Lewis, together in one volume for the first time.
Michelle Tanner begins a journey west in 1864 from Washington Town, as the American nation's capital was called, to Denver City. It becomes a perilous trek, filled with a gunfight here and there, disease, and new friendships. And lurking in the shadows, a madman intent on revenging himself on one of the main characters. As if the madman’s murder of Joseph Nathan Meeker’s family wasn’t enough, 'Bone Picker' harbors an intent to kill Meeker and anyone with him.
Through unusual circumstances, an odd collection of travelers are thrown together. Along the way this group becomes family. Join Michelle Tanner, Nathan 'Sleeps with Bears' Meeker, Henry Buffalo Head, and Sarah Culbertson in their expedition to the mining fields of Colorado Territory. Meet the tiniest outlaws in the west, the Packer Twins, and a mountain of a man named Macy Tucker. See how Marshal Hamilton handles an outlaw gang holding an entire town hostage. Beware, there is a malevolent fiend named Daniel 'Bone Picker' Hannover (also called Two Tongues) out for revenge.
