Charlie's Gold and Other Frontier Tales

Thirteen frontier tales take you back to the Old West, circa 1860-1900, a time when ranchers, soldiers and settlers made their place in history. Cowboys pushed herds into unknown territories, railroads laid the foundations for cities to come, ranchers gathered up land, sodbusters proved their claims, the army built their forts. These stories are about the people who made up the West, some good, some bad. The heroes are men AND women, and the Indians in these tales reveal bits of the culture and spirituality that the white man, at the time, seldom understood. If you add some robbers and gun fighters and a lone prospector like Charlie, that pretty much sums it up.
