(Roland Smith, author of the Peak Marcello adventure novels)I had lain in my bed thinking of our visitor out in the bunk in the barn. It scarce seemed possible that he was the same man I had first seen, stern and chilling in his dark solitude, riding up our road. Something in father, something not of words or of actions but of the essential substance of the human spirit, had reached out and spoken to him and he had replied to it and had unlocked a part of himself to us. He was far off and unapproachable at times even when he was right there with you. Read more

He soon learned that the twelve-year-old Rob Slater harbored a common intent with him – to run down the elusive Parson gang. He for the $10,000 reward, and Rob, because Jude Parson had murdered his folks. Rob asked Eli to teach him the trade so one day he could look Jude Parson in the eye and square things with the killer.

In the eerie silence, as tumbleweeds spun across the dusty streets of Tombstone, four men walked toward the O.K. Corral with murder in their hearts. Watching, by an aged and rotted fencepost, with a half-masticated caterpillar in her mouth, a chicken was there.Inside the fortified walls of Fort Laramie, in the lawless heart of the vast and desolate prairie, George Donner leaned against a cracked, adobe wall contemplating the decision that would cost so many lives and ultimately, shock the nation. At his feet, pecking the moldy, discarded crumbs of the day-old piece of cornbread he carelessly clutched in his hand, a chicken was there.As the train lurched and careened to a screeching halt, the muffled screams of passengers were drowned out by the sound of gunfire piercing the air. The infamous James Younger gang climbed aboard, their eyes hard and cold above the bandanas that covered their cruel faces. They entered the mail car, and in a crate by the side of the safe, a chicken was there.Now, for the first time ever, the chickens who witnessed the greatest events of the American Wild West and met the larger-than-life men and women who forged their place in our imaginations, will tell their stories. Part historical fiction, part humorous observation, with sharp wit and heartwarming innocence, the hens and roosters who were there give their unbiased accounts of life on the frontier. Through the course of twenty-five short stories these eyewitnesses to history will show you a side of the Wild West never before told, and not easily forgotten. From Westward Expansion to the California Gold Rush, from Dodge City to Deadwood, a chicken was there. Read more
