    About this audiobook

    Unlikely hero Sammy Gregg has never met a challenge he won’t face head on, but he hasn’t met outlaw Chester Furness!

    Born in Brooklyn, Sammy Gregg is small in stature and naive to the ways of the world, yet headstrong and resolute to save enough money to marry Susie Mitchell. Gregg calculates that he needs $15‚000 and figures he can earn enough in six months out west. Although he is a small man who knows nothing of fighting‚ guns‚ or horses‚ he takes his $5‚000 in savings and heads west‚ arriving in Munson‚ a tough, lawless town.

    With his unwavering determination, Gregg finds a few good-paying jobs, but every time he runs up against Chester Furness, a fellow newcomer to Munson. But unlike Gregg, Furness runs a gang that steals horses, robs stagecoaches, and makes life hard for Sammy Gregg.

    To make good on his word and return to New York with enough savings to start a new life with Susie‚ Gregg will have to face off against Furness, put an end to his raids, and rid Munson of his gang of outlaws for good. But some things are easier said than done....

      Sammy Gregg lived in Brooklyn, NY. His dream was to marry Susie Mitchell but before he would do so, he planned to go west for six months and using his $5000 savings, invest it something which would permit him to return home after the six months with $10,000 more.When he arrives in Munson which appears to be in Texas, he discovers he lacks some of the skills one needs to survive in the West- shooting and riding skills being the most useful. His slight size also works against his having success. However with the assistance of some unusual friends, he brings a herd of mustangs from Mexico and he opens a stagecoach line both of which make him a great deal of money.His main opponent is an easterner, Chester Furness, who steals his mustangs and tries to ruin his stagecoach line with many holdups. His main benefactor is Jeremy Major, a strange lazy character who shows amazing gun and riding talents when needed by Sammy.A very readable novel by one of the legends.Originally published as three separate stories in three different 1925 editions of Smith's Western Story Magazine, they are cobbled into a novel here which works well.
