Steve Frazee captures the heart of the American West in these two brilliant novellas, which demonstrate his impeccable historical accuracy and deep understanding of the human character. In Death Rides This Trail!, the Breslin family has given up everything to make the treacherous journey across the plains in the hope of finding a better life. But they will need all the courage they can muster when Mr. Breslin is killed halfway out. The title novella tells of Roy Hale, a former Captain in the Confederate Army, who receives an anonymous note detailing a hazardous mission that will pay extremely well…if Hale can survive.
