A combination of unusual western fiction stories including mysteries , humor, what goes around , comes around and watch out for an unusual killer.
Arizona territory was identified as a Confederate territory-during the Civil War and all Union troops were removed and sent east to fight. This action left all of the settlers at the mercy of the Apaches. Hundreds of killings took place and every young man ,if he wanted to stay alive, honed his gun skills. Some of these young men became Rangers and Lawmen. A larger number found their gun skills more useful as members of Outlaw Gangs .The history of Arizona during the period of 1860 on up through the early 1880’s is filled with raiding , killing and robbery. Very few gunfighters , good or bad ever lived beyond 39 years. Wild Bill Hickok died at 39, I guess you’d say he made it to old age. Jessie James died at 35 with Billy the Kid living up to his name killed at 23 years old. Most of the outlaws died young in a hail of gunfire or met their fate at the end of a rope. This collection of Western fiction is written around the 1870’s life style, practices and historical events of that period. Some of my characters are described performing events, or participating in actions which are reenactments of true life events in our early west frontier.
