Product Description
by Bernard Albertson (Author)
Born in 1938 I grew up in the west. As a youngster I traveled back and forth across this country by the old locomotive steamers watching cowboys herd cattle from horseback and seeing dust storms on the plains. A vision and memory I've never forgotten. Copper Penny is an action packed romantic western that plays out in the American west in the eighteen sixties with chapters and language I am sure will shock most of the readers I have had through the years, but as in all of my writing I have done in the past the reader will find it historically correct and the language used was the language of the times. Gangsters from Chicago leave a trail of blood and death all the way to Wyoming before a young halfbreed Deputy Marshall nicknamed Copper Penny steps in to protect his Indiana mother and the gold she has been sent over the years by the boy's father a Shoshone Chief. Together with the U.S. Marshal Jack Cunningham and two mountain men who show up from time to time the battle rages and bodies litter the landscape all the way across the Great Plains and back to Chicago. The characters in this book create and solve their own problems in a way that will hold the reader spellbound from the first page to the last. Bernard Albertson
