This collection of twenty short stories offers a view of life on the frontier by portraying incidents in the ordinary, yet extraordinary lives of a variety of people who heeded the siren call of the American West. The reader will meet ranchers and cowboys, lawmen and outlaws, merchants and farmers, teachers and preachers, and others who trekked west in hopes of improving their lot in life. Many followed the dream of a better future, others sought to escape a troublesome past, and some were simply lured by a desire for independence or adventure. Not all are heroes; no magical transformation occurred when "regular folks" packed their belongings and pointed themselves west. Yet, somehow, the unexpectedly inhospitable nature of the western lands often prompted newcomers to rise to the challenge of life on the frontier. Although the characters in the book are fictional, many aspects of their stories are historically accurate, including the combination of determination, sacrifice and wry humor which enabled many to face and often overcome circumstances we would likely view as insurmountable.

In this new volume from the Western Writers of America, readers are taken deep into the true stories that helped America form its identity, and the people that embodied its essence. James A. Crutchfield, a long-time WWA Secretary-Treasurer and seasoned historian, has assembled a remarkable cadre of contributors in The Way West. Included are winners of the Owen Wister Award, given for lifetime achievement in literature on the West: * David Dary explores the network of trails that lead explorers West * Bill Gulick recalls the Steamboat days of the Pacific Northwest * Leon Claire Metz goes deep into John Wesley Hardin's world * Robert M. Utley shows us the true faces of the Texas Rangers * Dale L. Walker takes us on a tour of the final resting places of forty of the West's most celebrated figures. The Way West covers many of the now obscure individuals and long-lost tales of our storied past and gives new insights into famous characters and events of this legendary era. So join the Western Writers of America on a journey back in time and lose yourself in the colorful history of the American West.

"The idea of the American frontier means a lot to many Americans' images of themselves and their country. Everyone has heard stories or watched movies showing tough, brave settlers crossing the continent, daring harsh weather, hostile natives, and rough terrain to nobly "tame" the frontier and expand the United States. But is this image true to life? Young readers will get a wider perspective of the tales of the American frontier, including points of view often left out of history books and popular entertainment, and learn more about the real landscape of the West"--
