Lonesome Gold

Five tales from the early west that deal with the sometimes humorous connections between men and women. A quest for gold mystery, a pig stampede, the command of a young girl, heroics of a cow hand and the fatal mistake of an assassin. Excerpts;‘ You, a saloon girl, gonna buy me a drink. Damned if that ain’t the biggest switch I ever heard of. Woman, you got the wrong man here. You just scare the hell outta me. I don’t know how to tell you this, but a street girl sorta swishes as she walks and girl you do swish. Pig stampede ?Their attempt was a disaster. All four horses began bucking off riders. “ Bud you’re as phony as a Mexican dollar. Risk your life for me almost every day. Reb,I knew from the first time I saw you in Texas that you were beautiful. Your picture on the front of the Jail. My beautiful Reb, Tonight we marry, tomorrow we get paper!” At some point that evening another empty bottle of old Burbon lay by the camp fire.Fate deals some winning hands for some folks, for others ??
