Grab your pick and shovel, nugget pan, and pack mule loaded with supplies-it's time to hit the trail and join Saddlebag Dispatches as we journey back to the California Gold Rush with Greed, Gold, and Gunsmoke. The clock's ticking, and the pickings are endless. Miners toil from dawn till dusk, while claim jumpers lurk in the shadows, ready to steal a fortune at the first chance.
Step into the shadows of a dark shack with a young man, where outlaws have murdered an entire town to steal their gold. Escape alongside a band of Native Americans, using the clever ruse of a plague wagon to flee the violence of the gold fields. Tag along with two best friends who caught the gold fever, only to return home from California no richer than when they left-but with one heck of a story to tell. Catch the fever yourself with a washed-up miner who finally strikes it rich with a cache of dead man's gold-and even wins a wife in the process. There's a nugget of adventure for every gold-panner seeking a tale to treasure.
Stake your claim in the pages of Greed, Gold, and Gunsmoke and discover some of the finest Western stories ever spun by the West's most talented authors. The gold's waiting for you-grab it while you can!
