The eighth book in the Mountain Life Western Adventure series from Charles Ray!
It seemed like an easy job. All Caleb had to do was guide a tenderfoot to the mountains and look out for him while he explored and drew his pretty pictures. It seemed such an easy job that Caleb even decides to take his wife Flora along. Little did he know that young Frederic Remington was a magnet for trouble, some of it deadly. Danger lurks around every turn in the trail, leaving Caleb wondering if he’ll be able to get his charge back to Bear Creek alive.
I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
In this adventure Caleb agrees to act as a guide to an artist in the mountains. They're attacked by thieves and ultimately drive them off. Lots of action, gun fights and adventure. Another excellent western that I would definitely recommend.
Caleb takes on a guiding job taking an artist into the back country. His wife goes along to cook and manage the camp but ended up teaching the Tenderfoot how to survive in the wilderness. A fast read and entertaining.
