Wild West: Stories of the Old West
by Elmer KeltonCompiled for the first time in book form, seven-time Spur Award-winning author Elmer Kelton's short story collection, Wild West.From rodeos to rustlers, from ranch life to the outlaw trail, Elmer Kelton’s take on the human condition shows us life in Texas as it was back then: simpler, but harder, with danger always present. Readers will meet several unforgettable characters, including a young veteran who overcomes his PTSD to fight a fire ravaging his town, a sheriff who continues to chase bandits despite having lost his job, and a frontier housewife who refuses to let her home be held hostage by dangerous criminals—even when all seems lost. Equally fascinating are the rancher and his wife who protect their adopted son when his abusive biological father returns unexpectedly, and the two women whose argument over a prospective lover leads to a no-holds-barred rodeo barrel race. As in all of Elmer Kelton’s work, readers will, once again, encounter the timeless strength of the human heart and the human spirit when everything else has gone awry. Filled with adventure and imbued with a love of the time, the people, and the place, these stories take us from the earliest days of the Wild West well into the twentieth century, each one embodying a passion for life that’s as wide as Texas sky.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

But though she might leave the past behind, she never believed she would escape the pain of innocence lost, nor feel stirrings of desire for any man until she met Luke Fontaine. Haunted by his own secrets, Luke could never blame Lettie for what had happened in the past. One glance at the pretty red-haired lass was enough to fill the handsome, hard driving pioneer with a savage hunger. This was the woman he wanted by his side as he fought to build an empire-- to tame a land that only the strong could take and only the courageous could keep. Against relentless snows, murderous desperadoes, and raiding Sioux, Luke and Lettie would stand together, bound by a passion that ran deep. But violence and tragedy would stalk them, and in this time of endless tears and brutal challenges, they would face a heartrending choice-to abandon a lawless land before it destroyed them, or to fight for their Wildest Dreams.
