Jake Willow: A Romance in the Old West (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798684454745)

Meet Jake Willow. A young cowboy stuck in Utah decided to strike out on his own, go to California, Sacramento, and maybe even San Francisco. He was looking to get on with his life, get a girl, and perhaps a wife. He had put in a couple of years as a lawman, done his share of killing and was looking for something more. Truth is he was lonely. Starting in the High Sierras, on the wagon trail from Carson City to Placerville, you're taken back to a bygone era of gold and silver mines, transcontinental rail lines and the beginnings of indoor plumbing. Our young cowboy follows a rough and tumble life tangling with hired guns, gamblers and fast women. Jake got off the train from Sacramento looking for the city life in Los Angeles and maybe a city girl. Little did he know, he was in Chinatown.Trabuco Oaks was just a mining town at first, silver, gonna be as big as the Comstock they said. The vein was rich and the digging easy. Investors came in from Chicago and built it up: the town, saloon, hotel and all. She came in on the Wells Fargo Stage Coach from Saint Louis, Miss Dottie Pepper, going to stay a night or two and take the stagecoach into Los Angeles. Set in the 1880s, Michael Rumbin takes you everywhere you want to go and everywhere you shouldn't, all in three exciting stories, right out of the pages of a Zane Gray novel, and with due respect, the streets of Los Angeles. High Sierras, Chinatown and Trabuco Oaks.
