Five For The Trail by Mark L. Redmond.
For nearly twenty years, Mark L. Redmond had been telling stories about the old West to young readers. Finally, he’s turning his attention to “big kids” Here’s a collection of some of his best stories, including three that were unpublished until now. Redmond’s stories are not typical tales of shootouts and quick draws. In his unique way, he has created some delightful characters who choose to outsmart their opponents instead of out-shooting them.
Redmond is the author of the six-book middle grade series, The Adventures of Arty Anderson (Sword of the Lord Publishers, Murfreesboro, Tennessee). His story “The Spittoon” was a finalist in the 2010 Moonlight Mesa competition; “The Switch” appeared in a storyteller’s edition of Grit magazine; and “The Reward” was published in Elbow Creek. Mark and his wife Susie are workcampers. They live in a motor home and work in camp resort parks from Indiana to Arizona. Together they have six children and nine grandchildren.
Review by Bob C: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. A quick but satisfying read. Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021. Verified Purchase. The old west comes alive through the eyes of six different men, each with a story to tell in this collection. A quick but satisfying read.
Review by Carl Burkart: 5.0 out of 5 Stars. Short, Imaginative, stories from the old west. Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019. Verified Purchase. I enjoyed each one of the short stories and only wish there were more.
