Gunman’s Gold 

Gunman’s Gold is a western tale about a cowboy and thief with a heart of gold who steals from crooks to give back to those who have nothing. Excerpt: ‘The fifty empty freights danced and rolled and rattled on the rough road bed and filled Jericho Pass with thunder; the big engine was laboring and grunting at the grade, but five cars back the noise of the locomotive was lost. Yet there is a way to talk above the noise of a freight train just as there is a way to whistle into the teeth of a stiff wind.’
