About the Book:

These thirty-three stories are all adventures, in settings as diverse as Mexico’s Sierra Madre, a German airliner, Montana's Little Big Horn battlefield, a raft in the English Channel, a district attorney's office, and the caboose of a railroad car.  In these pages one young boy expands his coin collection and another gets his chance to become a real newspaper reporter.

Here you’ll find people facing difficult times, —two friends whose lives diverge and then collide, and an old cowboy in a hurry to get home.  There are tales of  World War II enemies who must face events together and a Mexican peasant trying to save his church’s gold from Emperor Maximillano’s hated French soldiers.  There are pilots in strange circumstances, an elderly cowboy selling his tavern, and a West Point graduate meeting his first Apache warrior.  And, here and there, a little romance, humor, and a touch of the supernatural is mixed in. 

Sit back, relax, and enjoy your ride through this unusual collection of stories, perhaps with a glass of wine by the fireplace, or with peanuts, a cold drink, and a pleasant meal on a long airline flight.
