Meet Jake Willow. A young cowboy stuck in Utah decided to strike out on his own, go the 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 high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the wagon trail from Carson City to Placerville, Frankie Stephano take you 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, finding himself in Los Angeles. Jake got off the train from Sacramento looking for the city life and maybe a city girl. Little did he know, he was in Chinatown. Frankie Stephano takes you everywhere you want to go with these three Western romances and everywhere you shouldn't, all in three exciting stories. Set in the 1880s, Ms. Stephano's first run at this classic genre, is right out of the pages of a Zane Gray novel, and with due respect, the streets of Philadelphia. La Veradá, Chinatown and Trabuco Oaks.

The Western Story: A Chronological Treasury consists of twenty Western stories spanning the years 1892 to 1994. For that generation of American writers who saw the frontier in the last century?including Mark Twain, Bret Harte, and Owen Wister?it seemed exotic, strange, wonderful. Others, such as Frederic Remington and John G. Neihardt, reflected the clash between various Indian nations and pioneers. These authors prepared the way for the founders of the first Golden Age of the Western story: Willa Cather, who wrote of pioneer life in Nebraska; Zane Grey, who combined wilderness experiences with romance and the search for spiritual truth; B. M. Bower, who portrayed the cowboys and frontier women she knew growing up in Montana; Max Brand, who created dramas in which the psychological and spiritual meaning of life was more important than the physical terrain; and Ernest Haycox, who combined character and drama with historical accuracy. ø Another generation of writers perpetuated this first Golden Age: Peter Dawson and T. T. Flynn, who began writing Western stories in the 1930s; Walter Van Tilburg Clark, who created a masterpiece in The Ox-Bow Incident; Dorothy M. Johnson and Les Savage Jr., who experimented with making the Western story still more realistic; and Louis L?Amour, whose visibility and popularity won legions of new readers to the genre. ø Humanity, depth, and verisimilitude were already part of the Western story when Will Henry, Elmer Kelton, and T. V. Olsen came on the scene to intensify these qualities in their own stories even as they experimented with new perspectives. And Cynthia Haseloff?s story (written especially for this collection), with its symbolism and its simplicity, may be the harbinger of a second Golden Age.
