Step into the rugged world of the American West, where lawmen, outlaws, dreamers, and drifters clash under the wide-open sky. This powerful collection brings together acclaimed favorites-including a Spur Award-winning story-in tales filled with danger, grit, and unexpected humor.

Inside you'll find:

• Owlhoots and Outlaws: Two dangerous men plot revenge against a woman from their past.

• The Gunman and the Cats: A hardened shooter faces his most unlikely challenge yet-a passel of ornery felines.

• Art on the Frontier: An emerging artist threatens the delicate balance of a rough Wyoming camp.

• The DaVinci Kid: A young inventor, inspired by Thomas Edison and Sherlock Holmes, brings science and wit to the Old West.

These stories celebrate both the myth and the reality of frontier life-tales where justice is hard-won, courage is tested, and humor shines through the dust and gun smoke.

Readers praise these Westerns as "distinguished by humor, irony, crisp language use, and a vivid sense of setting" (John D. Nesbitt, Death at Cantera).
