The Bad Year and Man Breaker are moving tales of the hardships faced by small back-country ranchers. The Road to Jericho is a variation on the theme of a wagon train plagued by Indians, and Stagecoach Pass is an elemental account of a driver's struggles to save his passengers when his coach is caught in a blizzard. In A Mug at Charley's, a retired steamboat fireman and engineer makes the most of his last chance to fulfil a lifelong dream. And Whistle on the River, one of Cheshire's best, tells of steamboat builders on the Columbia. Many more stories round out this rich, diverse cross-section of frontier life.    aFrontier and Pioneer Life - West (US) - Fiction  aWestern Stories  aLarge Type Books  aPronzini, Bill
