Dime novels, so named for their cost over 150 years ago, thrilled readers who devoured to learn of the fantastical adventures of western heroes. Often these stories contained a measured hero, a cowboy, Indians, and gun violence. Truth and justice inevitably triumphed. This formula of western heroes further captured the public imagination when translated to film. Prolific western maven Thomas F. Sheehan cut his boyhood teeth reading western stories and saddling up to western films. This book represents one of a dozen books of Sheehan’s western short story collections.

This collection of Kent Kamron's frontier tales is the fourth in a series of adventures set in the Old West, circa 1850-1900.

As a young man, Thomas F. Sheehan eagerly devoured the old stories of cowboys, cattle, canyons, and creeks that aided our American west-spread growth, much like those B&W giants of old western movies and their most unforgettable “B” type casts.

Author Tom Sheehan has stated that as a young man he owned five typewriters at one time. Inside each one were stories and fables, including many western yarns.

Travel along, as those in the west traveled; on horseback, by stagecoach, and by wagon train, dust flying up into the face and dangers looming everywhere.
