Shadow Mountain (1918)
Under the rim of Shadow Mountain, gold prospectors moved into the vacant houses along with the other desert rats. The daughter of the old paymaster was a waitress when Wiley Homan came back into town to find her. Virginia had always been convinced that Wiley’s father had robbed her father. Now here was Willy, sitting in front of her with a massive gold ring, asking whether they could be friends. But that was not all he wanted.
The Texican (1911)
A tale of cattle ranchers and a political satire. The "Texican" in the title is rustler Pecos Dalhart, who lands in the middle of a feud between rival cattlemen.
Rimrock Jones (1917)
Set in Arizona, this is a story of high finance, greed and mining law.
Bat Wing Bowles (1913)
Arizona native Dixie Lee was leaving New York by train when a gentleman greeted her warmly and introduced himself by the name of Bowles. He seemed to personify breeding and education -- traits a long winter of compulsory "finishing" had taught her to despise. Dixie Lee remembered him from a society party and she knew very well that Bowles wasn’t his real name. More than that, she feared they were both going west and three days more of highbrow conversation would just about finish her off—she must be stern, very stern.
Hidden Water (1910)
Two young women arrive on a ranch and the cowboys are competing for their attention.The novel was written more than a century ago, however, and the language is at times uncomfortable, and some would view it as racist. It is, however, a snapshot of how Americans wrote and thought 100 years ago.
Wunpost
John C. Calhoun was nicknamed “Wunpost”. Although he had the looks of a bronzed Greek god he was so uneducated that when he discovered a gold mine he called it “Wunpost” instead of “One Post”. But what Calloun lacked in spelling, he made up for in hard work. Calhoun discovered gold mine after gold mine. And he also discovered that he had enemies.
