Rambling Down the Range

A Collection of Western Short Stories

Beschreibung

From the high country of Arizona to the wide skies of Montana, from dusty boxing rings and outlaw towns to the quiet corners of a man's soul, these stories are rich with the grit, heart, and humor that defined the American West. Saddle up with legendary Western writer Dusty Richards once more as he brings the frontier to life in ten unforgettable tales of cowboys, lawmen, miners, outlaws, and the women who loved-or left-them. Watch a stripped down cowboy rescue a rancher's daughter from kidnappers in the Verde Valley. Witness a loner with a haunted past steal a proud Pawnee woman out from under a rival tribe's nose. Step into a makeshift arena where fists fly and reputations are made. And cheer for an unlikely match when a young woman finds her knight in chaps in a no-account border town. Follow a stranger in from the prairie who wasn't looking to buy the town-but just might end up owning it. These are the people who built the West-tough, tender, reckless, and raw. Rambling Down the Range marks Dusty Richards's last ride through the short form he loved best. These stories are tough as rawhide, tender where it counts, and told with the easy swagger of a man who knew the West down to his bones. For longtime fans and new readers alike, this final collection is a testament to a master storyteller doing what he did better than anyone-spinning a damn fine yarn.

Autor

Dusty Richards grew up riding horses and watching his western heroes on the big screen. He even wrote book reports for his classmates, making up Westerns since English teachers didn't read that kind of book. His mother, though, didn't want him to be a cowboy, so he went to college, then worked for Tyson Foods and auctioned cattle when he wasn't an anchor on television.His lifelong dream, though, was to write the novels he loved. He sat on the stoop of Zane Grey's cabin and promised he'd one day get published as well. In 1992, that promise became a reality when his first book, Noble's Way, hit the shelves. In the years since, he's published over 160 more, winning nearly every major award for western literature along the way. His 150th novel, The Mustanger and the Lady, was adapted for the silver screen and released as the motion picture Painted Woman in 2017. In a review for the movie, True West magazine proclaimed Dusty "the greatest living western fiction writer alive." Sadly, Dusty passed away in early 2018, leaving behind a legion of fans and a legacy of great western writing that will live on for generations.
