The discovery of gold in California launched a stampede of fortune-seekers across the continent in search of wealth. Willing to face any hardship -- outlaws, hostile Indians, bad weather, thirst, starvation, and the horrors of disease -- they battled fiercely to overcome these challenges and seize their destiny. But sometimes the treasures they found were not the ones they were expecting . . .
NEW AND COMPLETELY REVISED EDITION: He was young; he was kind; and he loved his cat, Little Tiger, and his horse Cindy. Though young, Kurt West's reputation preceded him and grown men stepped aside when they passed him. The pistols Kurt wore meant serious business and he knew how to use them. When Wet Springs and the people he cared for were threatened, Kurt moved into action. Afraid of no one, not even the murdering town-ruling Poindexter, Kurt West fought for his ranch, his girl, and the people he loved. It is a western; it is a romance---above all, it is a great read.
