More DescriptionAfter penning three thrilling adventures set on the American frontier, critically-acclaimed author Darrel Sparkman turns his considerable talent to a new subject. In this never-before-seen collection of short stories, Sparkman explores the themes that defined the Old West and captured the imagination of a nation for generations. In "Comanche Moon," A cowboy gets more than he bargained for when he rescues a young woman from the Comanches who kidnapped her. In "Latigo Jones and the Wannabe," a jaded gunslinger runs into a young buck eager to show him up, and gives him a comeuppance he doesn't expect. In "Red-Headed Trouble," a young man thought he'd seen some mad women in his short life, but finds more than he bargained for after meeting a breathtaking ginger... and the other five women of her family. In "Who Shot Jesus?" a former Confederate soldier is forced from his home at the hands of a greedy Union carpetbagger, only to discover home isn't always where you own land. Finally, in "The Reckoning," young Billy Tyler may be country poor and shy on book learning, but he wasn't about to be stampeded into a fight on someone else's terms.
