Tales of the Texas West: Series of Short Fiction about Texans in 1800s (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798640987836)

"I've seen the creks of Texas run red with the blood of hate. I've seen Anglos hate Mexicans, Negroes and Injuns. I've seen Mexicans hate Anglos. I've seen Injuns hate anybody that was not of their tribe. And the poor Negroes, everybody hated them but the Injuns, and they jest didn't care. All that hating didn't do nobody no good. I've seen too much hate in my lifetime, and I don't want to see you wasting your life hating someone who ain't here no more to hate in person." Ranger Caleb McPherson to his wife-to-be in my novel Red Ribbons & Black Colts.My set of five short stories and a novel excerpt were designed to encompass the dangers, violence, bigotry, adventure, survival, and opportunity of Texas from 1840-70. My primary characters include Texas Ranger Caleb McPherson, adventuresome store clerk Becky McPherson, and the mysterious San Angelo outlaw Black Cato. Both Caleb and Becky are fictitious. Cato actually existed. Included short stories already published on Amazon as singles are Becky's Story, Cato Runaway Slave, Cato Texas Outlaw, Tepid Water, and Texas Justice -- Mick Lang
