Book excerpt: Eighteen-year old Jed Stone was a trouble young man. His family's home and land would be repossessed by the Denver Bank unless they made their next mortgage repayment. But there was no way the money could be found, unless by unlawful means. His neighbours, the four McIver brothers, were in the same position and, against his will, Jed found himself planning a robbery with them. The McIvers got away with the strongbox but Jed was wounded and sentenced under an assumed name to five years in the Kansas Penitentiary. On his release, two women came into his life as he returned home to get his share of the hold-up money. That was where the trouble would really begin!

This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1860s the Smoky Hill Trail was the major road from the Missouri River in eastern Kansas to the new city of Denver, Colorado Territory, and the gold fields of that Rocky Mountain region. Thousands of travelers on the trail made their way to a new land where fortune awaited them, or so was their dream. They walked, rode horseback, or carried their possessions in a wagon pulled by horses, mules or oxen. Some of them rode a bumpy and tiring trip in a stagecoach. The trip was perilous and offered many hardships. Many lost their lives and never reached their goal. This book is the story of their experiences. It is also the story of two other groups of people - the Native Americans who fought to protect their livelihood, the grand herd of American Bison, or buffalo, and the United States military troopers who stood in the gap between the American immigrants and the Natives. Extensive research in the official reports of the various military units leads to a comprehensive look at the experiences of the soldiers.
