Gambler's Gold: Tales of the Old Wild West - Book 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781635296334)

Second in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent.

In the tradition of the John Wayne classic western films and legendary television series of Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian's didn't kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it.

It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them.
