Ghost Towns



his is a Western anthology, featuring rarely-published stories by some of the all-time greats, including Elmer Kelton, Loren Estleman, William W. Johnstone, and a Louis L’Amour story, The Defense of Sentinel, that has been unavailable for more than 25 years!

The sound of a crowded saloon…The cry of a train coming through the night…The pounding of horses ridden by friends or foe…From the searing sun to snow-steeped winters, towns called Sentinel, Iron Mountain and St. Elmo stood strong and fierce—before they finally died. Now, these ghost towns return to life under the spell of such great Western tale-tellers as William W. Johnstone with J.A. Johnstone, Louis L’Amour, Elmer Kelton, Loren D. Estleman, and Johnny D. Boggs.

From a soldier on the run from the fires of war…From a gambler who has long since played his last hand to a solitary, singing rifle man protecting a besieged town…With dreamers and schemers, with men and women of courage, conscience and faith, here is an unforgettable round-up of astounding adventures fueled by a passion for the West the way it really was—and the way it lives on forever…
