From the pen of Western writer Paul K. Dunn, here are three short stories following the life of central character, "Big Tim," from youth to old age. In the tradition of the pulp Westerns of the 1940s and '50s, these stories are action-packed, fast-paced and a must-read for fans of Western literature. Each story has a special twist that sets it apart from the older, traditional Western. You will be entertained, enthralled and at times amused by the life of Big Tim. KIOWA COUNTRY Big Tim was a young man but a civil war survivor destined to follow his dream of prospecting for gold in the American West. On his way to the California goldfields, his leisurely travel through Indian territory becomes a desperate flight and battle for survival. Through his struggles he develops an awareness of the reasons why all men fight . . . and die. SILVER AND GOLD "Return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear" . . . and Big Tim's humorous encounter with an odd young man who he inadvertently helps in his quest to become an iconic future Western star of the early days of radio and television. Saddle up! PARTNERS His hair was grayer now and his shoulders were stooped, but he was still a massive man with a big hatred for the former partner who had treacherously double-crossed him. It had taken years, but finally he found him!
