☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story, "Wyatt Earp," depicts Earp moving fast to stop five gunmen locked in the bunkhouse from obtaining weapons, ultimately shooting it out with the Killer Crew and defeating them in less than twenty minutes. A secondary text feature titled "Tomesha" provides historical and geographical information about Death Valley National Monument, discussing its desert terrain, geological features, and the 1849 gold rush emigrant tragedy that occurred there.
Wyatt Earp sets out across dangerous desert terrain carrying warrants for three murderers, but a bushwhacker's rifle shot sends him sprawling from his horse—only the bullet grazes his skull instead of ending him. Stripped of his belongings and barely conscious, Earp must push through the scorching heat to reach water and track down the men responsible for his ambush. As he stumbles toward a nearby ranch, his path crosses with the very killers he's hunting, though they've no idea the broken man before them is the famous lawman they thought they'd already put down.
Sam Gunnison refuses to abandon his aging burro Whiskers despite the warnings of those around him, and his loyalty is put to the test when two claim jumpers track him down after he strikes gold. When the outlaws move to silence him, the old pack animal proves that a faithful companion can be worth far more than any gold strike.
Wyatt Earp trails the ruthless Pico Reyes to the coast of Baja California, where the would-be revolutionary has arranged a shipment of arms to fuel his plans for conquest—funded by extorted gold taken from innocent people across the border. With a fortune in explosives and weapons about to change hands, Earp must act fast to stop Reyes before the guns reach the hands of the Yaqui tribes in the mountains.
Red Tourneau faces a brutal ultimatum when the ruthless Curly Jack issues a sunset showdown—stealing his ranch and threatening his girl while publicly questioning his courage. When those closest to him urge him to fight back with guns, Tourneau must decide what real strength means in a town hungry for blood. A taut tale of reputation, nerve, and the price of standing your ground without backing down.
A band of outlaws storms into town and makes the mistake of targeting a woman's modest savings—her carefully hoarded egg money meant for Christmas gifts for her children. When the robbers dismiss her pleas, the seemingly ordinary mother reaches into her handbag and turns the tables on the desperados in a way that sends them fleeing for their lives. Sometimes the most dangerous thing in the Old West isn't a quick draw—it's a determined woman protecting what matters most.
Wyatt Earp rides into Sixmile hunting one man, only to find himself framed for murder by a cunning outlaw named Rogall, who needs the lawman out of the way while he plots a raid on the local express office. Forced to surrender to deputy Len Taggart, Earp must find a way to stop Rogall's scheme before the stolen payroll vanishes—and before time runs out.
The Kentucky Rifle explores the true origins and frontier legacy of this iconic Pennsylvania-made weapon, tracing how it traveled west with settlers and proved devastatingly effective against both game and adversaries who carried inferior trade muskets. Through historical vignettes of hunting, trapping, and conflict across the Missouri and Platte rivers and into the mountains, the story illustrates how the rifle's superior range and accuracy became instrumental in shaping the settlement of the American West.
