John Habberton, raised in the West, collects stories of the Pacific Slope that he claims are above all truthful. A schoolteacher arrives at Bottle Flat, Jim Hockson plans his revenge, a new sheriff takes over Bunker County and a mining camp hears its first prayer, in tales that move between comedy, sentiment and violence.

Frontier stories in the vein of Bret Harte from the author of Helen’s Babies. Download the free EPUB.
