| The frontier tales of Kent Kamron take you back to the old west,
circa 1860-1900, a time when ranchers, soldiers, and settlers made
their place in history. The initial westward movement beyond the
Mississippi crept into the rolling hills of Kansas and Nebraska,
where the cattle towns gained notoriety. The next lands of opportunity
became the open plains of the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming
territories, a further invasion of the west, all which earned the term
Manifest Destiny.
Along the way, cowboys pushed herds into unknown lands, railroads
laid the foundations for the cities to come, ranchers gathered up land,
sodbusters proved upon their claims, and the army built their forts.
During this period of time from the end of the Civil War through the
sad tale of Wounded Knee, the encroachment upon the Indian and the
Indian lands was a never-ending battle.
These stories are about the people who made up the West, some good,
some bad. The heroes are men and women, and the Indians in these
tales reveal bits of the culture and spirituality that the white man of the
time seldom understood.
If you add some robbers and gunfighters and a lone prospector like
Charlie, that pretty well sums it up.
Charlie's Gold and Other Frontier Tales is also available as an ebook on Amazon.com for the Kindle.
