Publisher Description
COLLECTED WESTERN STORIES is inspired by the American West. They are the stories of adventurers and explorers of the lands inhabited by the Native Americans who had to constantly fight the newcomers whom they considered invaders. The stories develop paradoxical heroes: settlers and their families, risking all to begin a new life, as well as the gunfighters who sought to impose the rule of the gun. Another Notch for Sam and The Hanging Tree are stories of these gunfighters while in Comanche Run and The Wind Spirit, the reader will witness the struggles of the Native Americans.
Important events in American history are not overlooked. The story, Grey Steel, Rivets and Canvas tells of the last attempt by the Confederacy to change the course of the Civil War. The plan is an ambitious one which may just work. Or will it? Western Delight will take the reader, travelling in a time machine back to the Battle of the Little Big Horn in a story which has a strange twist to its end. In yet another story, The Last Ride, we hear first-hand, an eye-witness account of the Little Big Horn battle from a soldier in a battle when there were no survivors from Custer’s command. How did he survive when all of the others died? The seventeen stories in this collection will inspire and entertain all who are interested in the American West and even those who aren’t, but who just love a good story and a good read…

The Review
Still enjoy the memories of old Western films and the piles of books about wild west on my father’s table. It was thinking of these moments that I started reading this collection of this author I learnt to enjoy in so many other stories and genres.
Another Ibook treasure for all those who dig around about this particular genre whether if you are thinking about Gold Fever that even nowadays turns the minds of adventurers upside down, the possibility of exploring the beginnings of this immense Canvas that is the new continent and the challenges it presented to the explorers, the struggle of the native Americans to defend their way of life, the gains and losses portrayed by every story and adventure.
A reading I would share with my old man if he were still around. I loved the reading and the opportunity to relive so many moments shared with my sweet father.
