Publisher's Synopsis
Campfire Tales, Uncle Joe's Stories of the Old West, is a collection of four short stories about the old west, each with its own unique wild west adventure. Red Horse Range is a story about a range war and about the danger of blind stubbornness, and about how no matter how much a man might want to stay neutral, there are times he must pick a side. Yancy Baines is a story about a young man's adventures on a wagon train to California where the treasure they come to seek is buried Confederate gold, and yet love becomes the ultimate prize. Paradise Valley is a story with a silver lining about a lost and penniless man in search of a fresh start who discovers true wealth can only come with the love of a good woman. The Patriarch is the story of a broken man who returns from the war only to discover he has lost everything, even the woman he loved. As he travels west in search a new life, he helps others escape their lost and pain and unwittingly creates the path to his own salvation. Written for all ages, these are stories to be enjoyed and shared by anyone who loves a good western.
