The American West. Just as America attracted millions to her shores by building upon a foundation of freedom, democracy, and a new start, the lands beyond the Mississippi would also attract people from all over the world with visions of opportunity and wide open spaces and provide America with legends and myths that have yet to die. In Westward, the history of the Old American West unfolds in twenty-eight original stories written especially for this unique collection that commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Western Writers of America. Featuring stories handpicked by four-time Spur Award-winning author Dale L. Walker, Westward is a time capsule of the Old American West, from the first horse ever seen by a North American Indian to a man who escaped from the Alamo, from the massacre at Mountain Meadows to Libbie Custer's great secret, from the Apache wars to the California gold rush. And such luminaries of the West as Crazy Horse, Jim Bridger, Jedediah Smith, King Fisher, Doc Holliday, Belle Starr, John Wesley Hardin, and the one black man to accompany the Lewis and Clark expedition are brought to life in these colorful and dramatic tales. Here, the ghosts of the Old West, some already there, others lured to that vast and trackless land of the setting sun, will talk to you in this volume of short stories to be treasured.

A WISE OLD LADY ONCE SAID... 'You should be able to take your retirement now, then work right up until you're eighty. Maybe then we'll all appreciate how precious this life really is. Go see the world now, when you're young, fit, and able. Maybe then we can all give something back!' Back in the spring of 2010, we quit our corporate jobs to go rail-tracking across America. Everyone thought we were crazy. 'You're doing what? In a middle of a recession? Have you lost your flipping minds?' In search of hope and inspiration we followed a dream, along the old railroad routes of the vast American West. What started as an adventure to fulfil a goal, ended up in discovering a lost American soul. Aimed at readers of all ages, Westward Fever is a sharp, nostalgic and comical look into the American way of life. Drawing much of its inspiration from the growth of the American frontier, Westward Fever provides hope and inspiration for every hard-working lost soul who dares to live the dream.

A beauty must solve a beastly murder. Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax knows how to win over an audience. That's why she's accepted the marriage proposal of the brutish Comte de Griffe to nettle her occasional investigative partner--and romantic sparring partner--the pompous if dashing Professor Penrose. But with his boorish table manners, wild mane of hair, and habit of prowling away the wee hours, the Comte has shredded Ophelia's last nerve. She intends to disengage from her feral fiancâe at his winter hunting party--until Penrose, his lovely new fiancâee, and a stagecoach of stranded travelers arrive at the Comte's sprawling chãateau. Soon she can't tell the boars from the bores. When one of the guests is found clawed and bloody in the orangerie, Ophelia is determined to solve the murder before everyone starts believing the local version of Beauty and the Beast. But until the snows melt, she can't trust her eyes--or her heart--since even the most civilized people hold beastly secrets.
Sets out the remarkable story of the American frontier, which became, almost from the beginning, an archetypal narrative of the new American nation's successful expansion.
