"They are the stuff of legend, thundering out of the harsh landscapes and stunning vistas of the American West, vividly lodged in our collective imaginations. From Buffalo Bill to Billy the Kid, from Cochise to Jesse James, these names and so many others screamed across newspaper and dime store magazine headlines while the Wild West was won. Lost Trails features inventive, hard-riding, action-packed stories by America's best Western writers. Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton, William W. Johnstone, Loren Estleman, Johnny Boggs, Don Coldsmith, and many more, share tales of the legends born out of the wild frontier. So sit a spell and listen to a good ol' yarn about Mark Twain's meeting with Buffalo Bill, a man who shoed horses for Jesse James, or a little known nugget about Cochise by the legendary Louis L'Amour. . .and for a time, you can find yourself riding those Lost Trails with the real people that make the legends of the West come alive today"--… (meer)

Title: Lost Trails (Short story title: Bear River Tom and the Mud Creek Massacre, pgs. 81-94) Author: William W. Johnstone & J. A. Johnston ISBN: 9780786018246 Pages: 256 Year: 2007 Publisher: Pinnacle My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. In “Bear River Tom and the Mud Creek Massacre,” readers will enjoy the short tale being told from the point of view of Bear River Tom himself. Bear River Tom is a big man, and when he fights it isn’t with guns, it’s with his fists. Tom is a sheriff who upholds the law of the town but not everyone likes what he is doing and plans to change his mind. One day a young gal comes riding in on a buckboard, claiming she needs his help. While Tom has some misgivings, he goes anyway. When they arrive at the spot where she claims there is trouble, what Tom finds confirms his suspicions. What occurs next is what makes this short tale entertaining and Bear River Tom one of my favorite characters in the Johnstone world. So, if you like a good tale, look no further because here is one that will leave you looking for more tales from the Johnstone pen!
