Three classic Western novels of dangerous journeys across the untamed frontier, where every mile west brings hardship, violence, courage—and the constant threat that the travelers may never reach their destination.
THE UTAH KID by Roe Richmond
A gunman fleeing his violent past in a lawless Missouri town joins a wagon train heading west, embarking on a brutal journey across the plains and over the Rockies. At the end of the trail waits a dying Utah settlement—and a vicious enemy determined to make sure he never finds peace.
HEROINE OF THE PRAIRIES by Sheba Hargreaves
The acclaimed final novel in Hargreaves’ Oregon trilogy brings vividly to life the adventures, hardships and dangers faced by pioneers making the long, grueling journey across the prairies and mountains toward the promised land of the Pacific Northwest. First published in 1930, it was praised at the time as a powerful and authentic portrait of the westward migration.
COMANCHE CAPTIVES by Fred Grove
Lieutenant William Baldwin is handed an impossible assignment: escort 300 Comanche captives four hundred miles to Fort Sill through territory still controlled by hostile warriors. Along the way he must protect his prisoners not only from Comanche attacks, but from murderous white settlers eager to kill them. Winner of the Spur Award, the Oklahoma Writing Award, and the Levi Strauss Golden Saddleman Award for Best Western Writing.
