In the early 1870s, from the Rocky Mountains to northern Mexico, a couple of drifters discover their true purpose-in the form of hard-hitting western adventure!When Snake and Dog-Man are "asked" to leave Deadwood and travel south to what they think will be gold country, the nomadic cowboy pair manages to stir up trouble, help others, and attempt to locate the hard money they set out for in the first place.And while their adventures are always rollicking fun, they're also incredibly dangerous. But at least they're able to maintain their dignity-most of the time.Join these daring drifters as they navigate the rugged terrain of the Wild West, where danger lurks around every corner and the pursuit of gold is only surpassed by the bonds of friendship forged in the crucible of adventure.

A CAPTIVATING, NON-STOP ACTION TALE OF THE OLD WEST A stage coach hold-up turns into a federal judge's wife being abducted, brutalized, and murdered. Federal marshals Bull Morrison and Slim Calhoun are called in and in that moment everything goes downhill. Outlaw Gus Emerson and his partner Hawknose Mackenzie lead the Marshals deep into the Walker River Canyon where they fight off Indians in at least three battles, but the even more devastating crimes are being committed by Federal Judge Chastain back in Mormon Station, Nevada Territory. A simple robbery, Indian fights, small town riots, and A Judge Gone Wrong - Johnny Gunn delivers the second Slim Calhoun, Bull Morrison Western.

U.S. Marshal Bull Morrison and his deputy, Slim Calhoun, ride into Aurora, a rowdy Nevada mining camp, to escort a large gold shipment to the U.S. Mint in Carson City. A gang, led by local businessmen and the deputy city marshal are determined to make that gold shipment their own. Bull Morrison is usually looking to pick a fight and his partner is often found egging him on. They are delighted to find the deputy city marshal is a psychopath and is also looking to pick a fight. Chasing bad guys in a blizzard on a high mountain pass near the 9,000 foot level is just one of the obstacles faced by Bull and Slim. It gets worse as the blustering and inept gang leaders try to hire killers to save their necks. Thieving and hijacking plans deteriorate to chaos, men die, women are abducted, and Aurora, the Goddess of Dawn, Burns.

Spring floods, outlaws roaming the Willamette Valley, and men with clubs looking to pound his head will not stop Ezekiel Hawthorne from striving for statehood for his beloved Oregon. Young Hiram takes on a gang of outlaws and Travis enjoys the best Christmas party he's ever thrown. Moose invites a young lady to spend the rest of her days in his lodge and feisty little Barbara, with the help of a shotgun, tangles with outlaws.Every journey has a beginning and an end, but statehood is yet another beginning. Zeke is hurt, worn out, and enthralled as 1858 finds another star added to that magnificent starred and striped banner, and he can retire in peace and honor.

Ezekiel's Journey continues as he and the family settle on their homestead and begin the hard work of developing a farm. There is a movement afoot to bring Oregon into the union and Zeke is one of those promoting the idea. He discovers his leadership ability and is elected to the Oregon Territorial Legislature. It's not all roses for the intrepid adventurer as he finds strong opposition to statehood coming from those that want Oregon as a slave state, and those that are dead set against the welcoming of more immigrants. Rumblings of Indian problems for the thousands that will travelling the Oregon Trail are addressed as well. Oregon Territory stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Divide. Can such a large area even be governed? Maybe break some off?

His life is shattered, his wife, his children dead. A lesser man might just give it up; but Ezekiel Hawthorne isn't a quitter. While thousands head to the California gold fields in wagons, Ezekiel loads his mule and embarks on an amazing venture across the continent alone, bound for the good soils and abundant waters of Oregon. Savages, tornadoes, and a lack of knowledge don't slow the man down a bit. It's a beautiful half-Shoshone woman who has the biggest impact on Ezekiel's new life.
