Six Trails West

(2011)
A collection of stories by

 
 
Corralled together for the first time comes an exciting collection of stories by Mike Stotter that captures the imagination of the American Old West.
Ride the Big Muddy with explorers Lewis and Clark (Great Medicine), stand shoulder to shoulder with Big Foot Wallace when a Texas Ranger recounts his version of the Meir Expedition (A Ranger's Acquaintance). The gold mines of California can bring out the worst in people and women are no different in a quite tale of Irish immigrants ('Til Death). A cattle baron abuses his political power for his own needs with some unexpected consquences (Portrait of a Cattle King). Outlaws aren't always as they seem as one young man is forced on the owl hoot trail (The Making of Jared Dodds) and through an act of kindness another follows a different path (One More River).
Iconic themes of the Old West are given a new lease of life and you'll be exhausted at the end of your ride.
